Run the task: Daily

Once at: 09:00:00 AM

Distribute start time within the time window

Maximum delay: 1 Hour(s)

Distribution method: Random

Then the task's start time on each machine may be any time between 09:00:00 AM and

09:59:59 AM—for instance:

First machine: Every day at 09:30:03 AM

Second machine: Every day at 09:00:00 AM

Third machine: Every day at 09:59:59 AM

Example 2

Suppose that you are deploying a backup policy with the following schedule to three machines:

Run the task: Daily

Every: 2 Hour(s) From: 09:00:00 AM Until: 11:00:00 AM

Distribute start time within the time window

Maximum delay: 1 Hour(s)

Distribution method: Random

Then the time of the task's first run on each machine may be any time between 09:00:00 AM and

09:59:59 AM; the interval between the first and the second run is exactly two hours—for

instance:

First machine: Every day at 09:30:03 AM and 11:30:03 AM

Second machine: Every day at 09:00:00 AM and 11:00:00 AM

Third machine: Every day at 09:59:59 AM and 11:59:59 AM

To specify advanced settings

1. Connect to the management server or to a machine registered on it, and then start creating a

backup policy or a backup plan.

2. In How to back up, select the Simple, Tower of Hanoi, or Custom scheme, and then click Change

to specify a schedule for the scheme.

3. Under Run the task, select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.

4. In the Advanced settings area, click Change.

5. To enable the use of the Wake-On-LAN functionality, select the Use Wake-on-LAN check box.

6. To distribute the centralized backup tasks' start times, select the Distribute start time within the

time window check box and then specify the maximum delay value and the distribution method.

5.6. Conditions

Conditions add more flexibility to the scheduler, enabling to execute backup tasks with respect to

certain conditions. Once a specified event occurs (see the Scheduling section for the list of available

events), the scheduler checks the specified condition and executes the task if the condition is met.
