Backup Start Time and Window

For each of these schedules you can select a Start Time and an Attempt Window. Please be aware the Start Time is on a 24-hour schedule, and that anything after midnight is the next day. What this means is that if you want to back up Friday’s work, and you want the backup session to take place after midnight, you should select a time early in the morning of Saturday, not Friday.

The Attempt Window is the number of hours Remote Backup will attempt to perform the backup. Selecting a start time of, for example, 1:00am will not necessarily cause the backup session to start at 1:00am, although it might. Remote Backup might not be able to perform a backup for a variety of reasons – the Server is too busy, files are locked, the computer isn’t turned on.

In the event that Remote Backup can’t perform a backup at the selected Start Time, it will attempt the backup session some time during the next period of time determined by the number of hours you select here.
