Scheduling a Backup Operation

You can schedule a backup to occur once, or you can set up a repeated schedule. You
must provide the time and date that you want the operation to occur. If the operation is
scheduled to repeat, you must select how you want this backup to repeat (daily, weekly,
or monthly).

To schedule a backup operation, do the following:

  1. In the Navigation area, click the System Configuration icon.
  2. In the Contents area, click Scheduled Operations.
  3. In the menu, click Options.
  4. Select New.
  5. After selecting New, select Back up Critical Console Data from the menu. The scheduling window displays.
  6. In the appropriate fields, enter the time and date that you want this backup to occur.
  7. If you want this scheduled operation to repeat, click the Repeat tab and enter the intervals at which you want the backup to repeat. You can schedule backup operations to repeat at monthly, weekly, daily, or hourly intervals. If you select Daily intervals, you can select the individual day of the week you want the backup to occur. If you want to repeat a scheduled operation daily or hourly, you can also specify the days of the week on which you want this operation to occur.
  8. Click OK when you are finished setting the backup time and date.


After you have defined a scheduled backup operation, a description of the operation
displays in the Scheduled Operations window.
