Changing a backup job schedule

As your data protection needs change, you may need to change the backup schedule.

Backups can be scheduled to run as the following:

  • Continuously (whenever changes are made to a file)

  • Periodically (according to a schedule)

  • As needed (manually)

Backup job schedules are always shown in the local time of the user who is creating the backup job. If backup jobs are created for servers that are located in other time zones, the specific time must be converted to your local time.

You can review descriptions of the various backup job schedules.
