To open the Scheduler window, click the Turn on link to the right of Schedule while configuring a
backup.

Here you can specify the backup and validation schedule settings.

You can choose and set up one of the following backup or validation frequencies:



Daily (p. 83) - the operation will be executed once a day or more frequently.



Weekly (p. 84) - the operation will be executed once a week or several times a week on the
selected days.



Monthly (p. 83) - the operation will be executed once a month or several times a month on the
selected dates.



Upon event (p. 84) - the operation will be executed upon an event.

Clicking the Do not schedule button turns off the scheduler for the current operation. In this case the
backup will run only when you click Back up now in the main window.
