Modify Schedules for an Existing Backup Set
Use the Modify Backup Set dialog box to change the schedule for an existing backup set.
1. When the Modify Backup Set dialog box is displayed, select Schedule for later in the Backup Type area, and click
Modify.
2. Set up a schedule. The time scheduled for a backup is based on server time, which is shown in the upper right of the dialog
box. Specify the schedule type:
● One Time: Select this option to schedule one occurrence of the backup job, and then specify the date and time for the
backup job in the One-Time Occurrence area.
● Recurring: Select this option to set up a recurring schedule for the backup job. For recurring backups, select the
frequency options for the backup schedule.
3. When you have finished setting up the schedule, click OK.
4. Click Submit.
Replay Manager creates and schedules the backup job. The job is listed in the Backup Jobs display. When the backup is
finished, a summary report is listed in the Reports display.
NOTE:
To set up overnight schedules, click Exclude Time Range and then specify the range of time to exclude from the
schedule. For example, to create an overnight schedule that runs from 5 PM to 8 AM, click Exclude Time Range and then
specify 8 AM as the Starting at time and specify 5 PM as the Ending at time. The backup schedule will begin at 5 PM of the
current day and stop at 8 AM the following day.
