Chapter 10. Scheduling Tasks

10.1 What is a task?

A task is a job you execute for a database that includes the type of operation (backup,

restore, etc.), parameters of the operation (what to backup, what to restore, etc.) and a

schedule (optional). Each time you want to perform an operation with specific parameters,

you should create a task. Once the task is created, you can execute it manually at any time

or run it on a scheduled basis (if provided). You can also schedule independent or redundant

tasks for the same database or instances.

10.2 Setting Schedule Parameters

You can run a task manually or specify the frequency (Daily, Weekly or Monthly).

Manually – this option allows you to create a task without specifying the exact schedule of

its execution. The created task appears in the task management list and may be run at any

time.
