.: schedule options

This is where you can select different schedule types.

Daily - Selecting this option will launch a backup every day, seven days a week.

Weekly - This schedule lets you select which days of the week to do a backup.

Monthly - With this schedule you can select the First, Second, Third, Fourth or Fifth day of the week. Here are some examples: You can pick the first and third Wednesdays of each month or select the second Tuesday and Thursdays. There are many possible schedule options.

Once Only - This schedule will launch a single backup session, one time only, on a specified date you can pick from a pull-down menu containing a calendar.

On Demand - Pick this selection if you want this backup set to be launched on demand only - not through the scheduler. You can then launch this backup set through the Run: Run Now menu choice in the client software. You can also run it through Windows Scheduled Tasks.

Start Time - For each of these schedules you can select a Start Time and an Attempt Window. It is important to remember that the Start Time is on a 24-hour schedule, and that anything after midnight is the next day. This means that if you want to back up Friday's work, and you want the backup session to take place after midnight, you should select a time early in the morning of Saturday, not Friday.

Attempt Time - The Attempt Window is the number of hours the remote backup software will attempt to perform the backup. For example, selecting a start time of 1:00am will not necessarily cause the backup session to start at 1:00am, although it might. The remote backup software might not be able to perform a backup for a variety of reasons - the server is too busy, files are locked, the computer isn't turned on.

In the event that backup software can't perform a backup at the selected Start Time, it will attempt the backup session some time during the next period of time determined by the number of hours you select for re-attempts.
