[Date & Time]
End Date
Set the end date for the data you wish to
back up.
(Example: To back up a night of data
from 5:30pm until 8:30am the next
morning, select the day that follows the ‘
Start Date.)
End Time
Enter the end time of the data you wish to
back up.
(Example: To back up a night of data
from 5:30pm until 8:30am, enter 8:30
AM in the End Time box.)
The back up will automatically start when
the End Time has passed.
Rotate Option]
Use the Rotate Option to cause your
backup to repeat automatically. Back up
the same period of time every week,
month, or year. If a Rotate Option is used,
the dates are treated differently according
to the option chosen.
Example
:
Start Time “Tuesday, February 11,
2003at 5:30 PM”
End Time “Wednesday, February 12,
2003
[Backup Start Time Interval After]
You may have the backup begin Immediately
after the ‘End Time’ has passed, or you may
choose to delay the backup for up to 4 hours
after the ‘End Time’ has passed.
[Setup]
[Overwrite mode]
If there is not enough space to create a backup, the
system will automatically delete the old data
[Priority]
Set backup's priority when other backups are
scheduled. Setting the option to Backup after
precedent backup will place the backup in queue.
Backup after current backup will ignore the queue.
. In this example, if you choose the Rotate Option:
Week: Every Wednesday morning at 8:30am, the
previous 15 hours of data will be backed up. The
numeric date, month, and year are ignored.
Month: On the 12
th
day of every month at 8:30am,
the previous 15 hours of data will be backed up.
The day of the week (Tuesday, Wednesday), month,
and year are ignored.
Year: Every year on the 12
th
of February the data
will be backed up. The day of the week (Tuesday,
Wednesday), and year are ignored.
