Backup schedules can be thought of as groups of clients that are backed up in a pre-determined manner at a scheduled time. An Enterprise backup schedule ties a calendar to the clients you wish to protect. You then apply selection lists and options to clients in the schedule for more granular control. Before creating a schedule, set up any required selection lists and options.
Scheduled backups form the foundation for continuous data protection. Once created, you can run the schedule on-demand (using the Run Now option within the Schedules tab), but this is not the recommended approach for ensuring thorough and consistent protection. Run backups on-demand when needed, but use schedules for regular backup operations.
