In this last step, you can set up how you want backups to be performed. To set up a backup
schedule:
1. Schedule a full backup. Select when you want full backups to be performed. You can elect to
do this just the first time, every week, every 2 weeks, every 3 weeks, every 4 weeks, or every
time this backup job is invoked.
The first full backup is performed at the next scheduled occurrence of the backup depending
on the schedule you specify, and the next full backup is performed at the weekly interval you
choose calculated from this first backup. Incremental backup is performed between the full
backup cycles.
Backups of a Web or FTP site only have the option to do a full backup every time.
2. Send a backup log. Backup logs can be sent to the users on the Alert contact list when the
backup is complete. It is a good idea to select this option to make sure that files are backed up
as expected. You can elect to send only errors encountered during backup, full backup logs
consisting of file listings (can be large), or status and errors (status refers to completion status).
3. Remove files from backup destination. Select if you want to erase the destination path
