appliance becomes unusable. The SonicWALL Offsite Portal provides load balancing,
redundancy, and an efficient file system structure for optimal access to and protection of your
data.
The SonicWALL CDP Offsite Data Backup provides different services, ranging from 5 to 100
GB of quota. You need to make sure that the total size of all of your backups does not exceed
quota limit. If quota is exceeded the consequent backup will fail, the Quota Exceeded Error
message will be displayed, and the status for the last backup will changes to Quota Exceeded.
You will receive an E-mail notification informing you of the failed backup attempt. You can free
up your storage space by removing some of the old backups or you can purchase additional
quota.

About Scheduling
Backups are scheduled using a very flexible interface for schedule configuration. You can
schedule backups to occur at any interval down to the minute or up to months apart. Custom,
specific dates can be configured.
There are two types of scheduling:
• Event – Uses fixed time points, such as Mondays at 5 PM or midnight every evening. Used
for Fileset or Application backup tasks.
• Interval – Uses Always On or always on during a specific start and end time, such as
Sundays from 4 PM to 8 PM. Used for CDP type backup tasks.
Interval scheduling is used for the default CDP type policy on an agent. Because the Agent
User Interface does not provide a way to create a new CDP type backup task, you would
not have another opportunity to use interval scheduling.
When creating a backup task in the Web Management Interface, the type of Schedule object
available for selection depends on whether you have selected CDP, Fileset, or Client
Application in the Select Data Type field of the Add Backup Task configuration window.
The scheduling interface provides four tabs for different scheduling options:
• Day Interval
• Days of the Week
• Days of the Month
• Specific Dates
Each tab provides configuration fields and a calendar that displays the selected dates with a
darker background, so that you can easily verify your configuration.
