Configuring nightly jobs for the Core
When any nightly job option is enabled on the Rapid Recovery Core, the selected job executes once daily at the time specified
for all machines that are protected by the Core. Conversely, if you disable any nightly job at the Core level, the specified job no
longer executes for all machines protected by the Core.
NOTE:
If the scope of a nightly job, as described in the topic Understanding nightly jobs on page 36, includes protected
machines, you can configure that nightly job to apply only for one or more specific protected machines individually. For more
information about applying nightly job settings specific to a protected machine, see Customizing nightly jobs for a protected
machine on page 139.
Because nightly jobs are memory-intensive, Dell recommends configuring your Core to execute them during a time of low
activity. The default schedule to run nightly jobs is 12:00 am. If another time is more suitable, change this setting in the Nightly
Jobs Time field using this procedure.
1. Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
2. On the icon bar, click
(Settings), and then do one of the following:
● From the list of Core settings on the left side of the Settings page, click Nightly Jobs.
● Scroll down on the right side of the Settings page until you can see the Nightly Jobs heading.
The Nightly jobs Core settings appear.
3. To change any nightly job, or to change the time that nightly jobs begin to execute, click
Change.
The Nightly Jobs dialog box displays.
4. If you want to change the time nightly jobs execute, enter a new time in the Nightly job times field.
5. In the first column, click to select each nightly jobs option you want to set for the Core. Click any selected option to clear it.
6. Click OK.
The Nightly Jobs dialog box closes and your nightly jobs settings for the Core are saved.
