The Recurring Schedule wizard step has different layout depending on the options selected on the Schedule step:

  • Once you selected the Recurring (predefined templates) option, refer to the Predefined Templates paragraph
  • Once you selected the Recurring (advanced settings) option, refer to the Advanced Settings paragraph

Predefined Templates

  • In the Start backup field, specify the date and time of the first backup plan run

    • Incremental backup every week, block-level backup every day
    • Incremental backup every day, block-level backup every hour
    • Incremental backup every day
  • In case you want to customize the schedule templates:
    • Select or deselect the Incremental backup every: check box, and, if the check box is selected, specify the period of an incremental backup run in hours and minutes
    • Select or deselect the Block-level every: check box, and, if the check box is selected, specify the period of a block-level backup run in hours and minutes.

Click Next.
