5.4 Backup 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.
5.5 Backup 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
