Step 4. Define Job Schedule

At the Schedule step of the wizard, define the schedule for the backup job.

Select the Run the job automatically check box. If you do not select this check box, you will have to start the job manually.
Define scheduling options for the job.

To run the job at specific time daily, on defined week days, select Daily at this time.
To run the job once a month on specific days, select Monthly at this time.
To run the job repeatedly throughout a day with a specific time interval, select Periodically every.

In the Automatic Retry section, define whether AHV Backup Proxy must attempt to run the job again if the job fails for some reason. During a job retry, AHV Backup Proxy processes failed VMs only.

Specify the number of retry attempts and the period of time between the attempts.

In the Restore Points to keep field, specify the number of restore points that you want to keep. When this number is exceeded, the earliest restore point will be removed from the backup chain. For details on the retention policy for AHV VM backups, see the Forward Incremental Backup Retention Policy section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Note

Scheduling options in backup jobs of AHV Backup Proxy are similar to backup jobs in Veeam Backup & Replication. For more information, see Backup Job Scheduling and Creating Backup Jobs sections of Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
