Computer Backup: Schedule tab

Purpose

Use this Schedule tab on the Backup form to:

Specify when you want backup to run for the Files and Directories configuration, Microsoft Exchange configuration, or the database configuration that you are configuring.

Note: If you are configuring Exchange backup and chose Automatic entire Exchange Server backup, the same schedule applies to both your Exchange and your Files and Directories backup configurations.
Specify whether to use continuous backup or run-once backup.
Specify if backup should keep running if the allotted time ends but the backup is not complete.
Save the backup configuration.
Cancel the backup configuration.

Note: This schedule does not affect the backup for your Windows Registry/System State. By default, the Registry/System State backup will run twice per day at times defined by LiveVault Online Backup Service. You cannot configure its schedule.

Fields and Buttons Descriptions

Field/Button	Description
Name of database	This box appears if you are creating a database configuration. Type a name for this configuration. Assign a name that will allow you to identify the database that is being backed up. For example, if you are backing up your Microsoft SQL server, you might use the name SQL.
Schedule grid	Use this schedule grid to specify when the backup configuration will run. The default schedule is 24x7. The grid consists of hours of the day (columns) and days of the week (rows). Each horizontal row identifies a day of the week, with Monday at the top. The first time period (left edge of the grid) is 12 AM, midnight. Each square on the grid represents one hour. Use the grid to schedule the intervals during which the backup configuration will execute. An interval can consist of one or more successive hours, and can span multiple days. Each group of horizontally contiguous shaded squares defines an interval during which the backup is scheduled to execute. A cleared square indicates that the backup is not scheduled to execute during that time period. To schedule backup to run: Click one of the Quick Scheduling buttons (see the buttons description below). Click each square individually to toggle on/off. Click a square and drag the mouse across the successive squares to toggle on/off. Click a square and drag the mouse diagonally across successive squares to toggle on/off (based on the status of the first cell). A backup job starts at the beginning of a schedule interval.
Schedule / time zone	Displays the number of scheduled intervals selected in the schedule grid (for example, "3 times per week " or "24x7"). Also indicates the time zone for the Agent computer based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
If necessary, run beyond scheduled time until backup is complete	Select this check box if you want the backup to run until synchronization is complete, even if the scheduled time has ended. This is selected by default if Run-once backup is selected.
Continuous backup / Run-once backup	Select one of these options to specify what backup type to run: Continuous backup = Select this option to run backup in continuous mode. Backup runs all the time, synchronizing the files once, then backing up changes as they occur on your computer Run-once backup = Select this option start and stop backup according to a schedule, synchronizing the files each time the backup starts. This option is not available if you set a 24x7 schedule. The default is Continuous backup, except if you click the Once Per Week quick scheduling button. If you click the Once Per Week quick scheduling button, the default is Run-once backup.
24x7 button	Click to automatically select all interval squares on the grid to create a 24x7 schedule (the default) where backup runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Continuous backup backup type is automatically selected.
Evenings/Weekends button	Click to automatically select interval squares on the grid to create a schedule where backup runs day and night on Saturday and Sunday, and during randomly selected blocks of time on weekday evenings (between 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM). The Continuous backup backup type is automatically selected.
Nightly button	Click to automatically select interval squares on the grid to create a schedule where backup runs during randomly selected blocks of time between 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM each night. The Continuous backup backup type is automatically selected.
Once per Week button	Click to automatically select interval squares on the grid to create a schedule where backup runs during a randomly selected block of time once per week. The Run beyond scheduled time backup type and the If necessary, run beyond scheduled check box are automatically selected.
Save button	Click to save your backup configuration. The Computer Backup form containing the backup configuration's properties opens so you can review your configuration.
Cancel button	Click to discard your configuration work: If you are defining a new backup configuration, the new configuration is not created. If you are editing an existing backup configuration, your changes to the existing configuration are not applied.
