Using the Scheduler

Use the Scheduler to schedule backup jobs to run at a future time and date. You can select to run jobs at a regular interval or to run once only.

Click or use the View > Scheduler command to open the Scheduler function. The large central pane displays a catalog of existing backup jobs at the top and details of each record at the bottom.

On the left-hand side is a list of tasks that can be run from the Scheduler.

The Scheduler offers the following tasks:

Edit Backup: Opens the backup procedure, allowing you to modify the backup source, destination, or options. (This is the same as clicking or using the View > Backup command.)
Back up Now: Begins the backup process immediately.
Reschedule: Opens a dialog box in which you can select a job interval (Once, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly) and a time and date to run the backup process. The Postpone option allows you to cancel the job, but to keep it in the Scheduler indefinitely.
Add Job: Opens a dialog box in which you can select an existing backup job to add to the Scheduler.
Remove Job: Displays a message asking if you want to remove the selected job from the Scheduler. Click Yes to delete the job, or No to close the message without deleting the job.
