Backup Job Recommendations
By default, all backup jobs are scheduled to run every day. You can edit these settings after
you create each backup job. For more information, see Schedule a Backup Job on page 255.
The first few times you back up data, it is a good practice to perform the backup manually.
With a manual backup, you can make sure that access is granted to the remote backup
source or destination and see how long the backup takes to run. You must know how long
the backup job takes so that you can allow enough time in the schedule for it to complete
before you schedule the next backup. You can run a manual backup after you create each
backup job. For more information, see Manually Start a Backup or Recovery Job on
page 257.
Note: Backup and recovery jobs using Time Machine use different
procedures. For more information, see Time Machine on page 262.
