Specifying Daily Schedule

To create a daily schedule for the backup policy, at the Schedule step of the wizard, do the following:

  1. Set the Daily retention toggle to On and click Edit Daily Settings.
  2. In the Create daily schedule window, select hours when Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure will create snapshots.
  1. Use the Run at drop-down list to choose whether you want the backup policy to run everyday, on weekdays (Monday through Friday) or on specific days.
  2. In the Daily retention section, specify the number of restore points that you want to keep in a snapshot chain.

If the restore point limit is exceeded, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure removes the earliest restore point from the chain. For more information, see Retention Policy for Snapshots.
