5.2.6 Setting Backup Scheduling Parameters
If you used Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange Assistant, it will create a schedule for
the choices you made. Click Edit to change the existing schedule settings.
If you decided to define the backup strategy manually, you have to set a schedule for
each backup type. See Chapter 9 “Scheduling Tasks” for detailed information.
Click Add to add new schedule settings for the appropriate type (full or transaction
logs). Clicking Delete will allow you to delete the existing schedule settings.
All the settings you made are displayed in the Result field at the bottom of the
window. To save your settings, click OK.
To quit task scheduling without saving, click Cancel.
Note, Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange allows you to set multiple schedules for one
task. For example, you should not only backup your data once a week, but also on the
last day of each month. You can specify Weekly and Monthly parameters to have the
necessary operation scheduled.
5.2.7 Backup Options
Select the backup options (pre/post commands, compression level etc.). You may Use
default options (see 5.4 for detailed information about backup options) or Set the
options manually. If you set the options manually, the settings will only be applied
to the current backup task.
5.2.8 Specifying a Task Name and Providing Comments
On the Task Name and Archive Comments wizard page, you can provide a name
and comments for the backup task.
