This example shows how to create a schedule for a Veeam Agent job that backs up Windows workstations. The job will run with the following settings:

The job will run every day at 7:00 AM.
In case the protected computer is powered off when the backup job starts, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will start the scheduled backup job when the protected computer is powered on.
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will bring the computer to the hibernate mode after the backup job completes successfully.
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will back up the protected computer when the user logs off.
