Using Backup Express for GuardianOS
Chapter 6 Data Protection 111
To use a preset backup schedule (backup only)
The two pre-set backup schedules are Base/Incremental and Base/Differential.
They are weekly schedules that run a base backup once a week and an Incremental
or Differential backup on the remaining days.
1
Choose the Backup Schemes option, then select one of the following options:
• Base Incremental schedules one base backup per week and an incremental
backup on the remaining days
• Base Differential schedules one base backup per week and a differential backup
on the remaining days
2
Use the pull-down menus to set the day and time the base backup is performed,
how often the incremental or differential backup is performed, and dates, such as
holidays on which to skip the backup.
To create a custom schedule
The preset backup schedules only allow you to back up on a weekly basis. The
custom schedule lets you back up on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
1
Choose the Custom Schedule option.
2
Choose how often you want the backup to occur by clicking the
Monthly
,
Weekly
,
or
Daily Tool
button on the top right corner of the screen.
3
Specify the time of day when you want the backup to run in the Sched Time field.
4
Choose the backup scheme by clicking on one of the Backup Type buttons.
Typically, you define the base backup first.
5
Use the calendar portion of the screen to indicate the days when you want a
backup to run. For example, if you are using the Weekly Tool, clicking on any
Friday schedules a backup for every Friday. If you are using the Monthly Tool,
clicking on the first of any month, schedules a backup for the first of every
month. Since the backup schemes are color coded, the day changes to the color
associated with the backup scheme. For example, if you are scheduling a base
backup for Friday the 3rd, Friday the 3rd changes to green when you click it.
6
Select either Skip Run or Keep Schedule in the When Holiday field to skip or run a
backup operation that falls on a holiday.
