Schedule Grid |
This grid shows the schedule for the backup policy.
The Schedule 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 a.m. (midnight). Each square on the grid represents a 30-minute interval. A cleared square indicates that the backup is not scheduled to execute during that time period. To create a custom schedule backup
Backup starts at the beginning of a schedule interval. If you select multiple intervals on the schedule grid, the backup will run only once for each interval. Therefore, if you select intervals spanning a long time period, for example, Friday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., your backup will run only once during this time period. If you need multiple backups to run every few hours, select alternate squares on the grid. The Schedule notation in the legend under the grid shows how many backups are scheduled per week based on your selections. |
When should the data be replicated from the appliance to the vault? |
Select a predefined replication schedule or create your own replication schedule. Select one of the following options (you might not see some of these options, depending on the subscription you have to LiveVault):
