5.4Backup Schedule
A “Backup Schedule” defines the frequency and the time that backups should run automatically.
Backup schedule can be in one of the following types:
Type | Description |
Daily | Backup Jobs will run everyday |
|
|
Weekly | Backup Jobs will run on the specified day(s) of every week |
|
|
Monthly | Backup Jobs will run on the specified day or on a day with a given criteria (e.g. first |
| weekend, last weekday) of every month |
|
|
Custom | Backup job will run once on any particular date |
|
|
For each schedule type above, backup will run at the scheduled time for a maximum of the duration specified (or until all data are backed up if [Stop on backup completion] option is chosen). If a backup job does not finish within the maximum duration specified, it will be interrupted.
Please note that you can have more than one schedule within a backup set. For example, you can have a daily backup schedule that runs at 13:00 at noon and another daily backup schedule that runs at 00:00 at midnight. The combination of these schedules effectively creates a backup schedule that runs daily at 00:00 and 13:00 everyday.
5.5Backup Filter
A “Backup Filter” defines the file selection rules that allow user to easily include/exclude files into/from the backup set by applying user defined criteria(s) to the file names or directory names.
There are some basic rules regarding backup filters:
i.Filters are checked in creation order. Once inclusion/exclusion has been identified, the remaining filters won't be checked.
ii.Inclusion/Exclusion made by filter always takes precedence over backup source selections
iii.If all filters do not apply to a particular file, this file is then checked for inclusion/exclusion backup source selections
