Automated Backup Schedule

1. Log in to the Software Appliance.

2. Open the Backup page.

3. In the section Backup Settings, Automated Backup Schedule, use the drop-down menu to specify how often a backup should be performed.
   

   

   After the first selection, further fields open for setting the date/time. Set these according to your requirements.
   You have the following options:
   None: (default): if no automatic backup should be triggered
   Daily: define Hour of Day and Minute of Hour
   

   

Weekly: define Day of Week, Hour of Day and Minute of Hour
Monthly: define Day of Month, Hour of Day and Minute of Hour
Cron: use the Quartz-style cron expression with seven fields:

The order of the fields is as follows:
Second, Minutes, Hours, Day of month, Month, Day of week, Year with the values separated by a space.

You must to chose between using day of month or day of week:

• use ? as a value for the field that is not used (e.g. set ? for day of the month if the backup is to be taken every Friday. Than specify the day of the week instead)

• Use * as a value to select all (e.g. if the backup is to be performed every month).

• All other allowed special characters are explained in detail in CRON tutorials.
