Scheduling Backups for Microsoft SQL Server
A schedule is required when creating an Application backup task to backup Microsoft SQL
Server databases. You can use the same schedule object in more than one backup task.
For instructions on creating a schedule object, see the “Creating Schedules for Application
Backups” section on page 57.
Configuring a Backup Task for Microsoft SQL Server Database Backups
A backup task includes both an application object and a schedule for the backup. Without a
backup task, no backups will occur.
For offsite backup, you can choose the Send All Files Offsite option when adding or editing a
backup task.
Note Before creating a backup task, create the application object and schedule to be included in
the task.
