Schedule Backup
The schedule backup feature enables intermediate to advanced users to be able to perform scheduled backups. Scheduled backups form the foundation of the continuous protection of data. As the name implies, this feature allows the creation of a schedule of various types of backup operations for one or more clients as per an associated calendar.
Using this screen the user first selects the schedule name and a description of the schedule. Please note that both are required fields. The user then selects a calendar. At the top right of the calendar selection panel, there is a "Filter by OS Family" option box. Selecting an operating system family filters the view such that only the calendars that are applicable for that operating system family are displayed.
The user may select which clients are to be the targets of the backup by selecting the check boxes within the "Client Information" panel. At least one client must be selected.
Using this screen the user may open the "Show-Per-Client Selection and Option Lists" option box underneath the client information panel in order to change the default inclusion selection list, exclusion selection list, and the per-client option list. This is done by the user dragging the desired selection lists and option lists to the appropriate row and column in the client information grid.
The user may optionally open the option box at the bottom of the screen and reveals the selection lists and option lists, the user may also choose to filter the view of these selection lists and option lists by selecting the "Filter by OS Family" option box. Selecting an operating system family filters the view such that only the selection lists and option lists that are applicable for that operating system family are displayed.
The final option box on the screen is the "Show Advanced Execution Options" option box. This option box allows the user to specify e-mail and print options for various reports and to specify backup commands that occur before and after the schedule is executed.
At the bottom of the screen the user may either select the "Cancel" button in order to cancel the operation or the "Schedule" button in order to create a schedule that will be executed as per the previously specified calendar.
