Scheduling a Restore Job in the Desktop Interface

Once you define a restore job, you can schedule it to run at a specific time or date. Each job can have its schedule as a part of its restore definition.

Tip. You can save a Restore definition and manually run the restore job without defining a schedule.

Creating a new Restore schedule:

1. On the task panel, click Schedule Restore Job.

2. This will open the Job Schedule dialog containing three tabs:

• The Schedule tab lets you define the dates and times for running this job.

• The Exceptions tab lists any exceptions to the schedule of this job.

• The Preview tab lets you view all jobs, as scheduled for a specified future date.

3. First, click the Schedule tab.

   1. Click New.

   2. In the Edit Schedule box, select a frequency:

      Once	Run this job one time, on a specific date and time in the future.
      Daily	Run this job every day at a specific time.
      Weekly	Run this job weekly. You can choose a specific day of the week for it to run, or you can set it to run during a particular week of each month.
      Monthly	Run this job monthly, on a specific day of a month.

3. Now, fill in the relevant details based on the frequency you choose.

   Frequency	Field	Definition
   Once	Run at [Time]	Enter the start time for this job.
   	On [Date]	Select the start date for this job from the display calendar.
   Daily	Run at [Time]	Enter the start time for this job.

For instance, choosing 3 will schedule the task to run every three weeks. If you want the task to run in the last week of each month, select last week day in month. • For Week Day in Month, you can select a specific week each month for the task to run. You can make multiple selections. Keep in mind that Last Week Day in Month refers to the set of 7 days starting from the first day in the month, not the calendar week that includes the first day of the month.
