4.4. Schedule a Backup
A scheduled backup job is defined to begin in the future and can be made to 
repeat at regular intervals. 
 
4.4.1. Backup Levels 
A comprehensive backup schedule uses a combination of regular total backups, 
with more frequent backups of only the changed files. A backup policy might 
have a monthly total, weekly total and daily incremental backups. Different 
retention periods might be assigned to monthly, weekly, and daily backups. 
 
All scheduled backups (aka “periodic” backups) are defined at one of three 
levels of priority. 
 
EXAMPLE: 
the monthly would be assigned to Level 1
the weekly would be assigned Level 2
the daily would be assigned Level 3
 
On days when a Level 1 backup is scheduled, the Level 2 and 3 backups are 
not run. On days when a Level 2 backup is scheduled, the Level 3 backup is not 
run. 
 
The Backup Scheduled Wizard provides an easy method to creating scheduled 
backup jobs to meet your backup policy needs. The Scheduled Job can also be 
manually created using the Expert Mode option.
