# Configuring Backup Schedule

To run a backup job periodically without the user intervention, you can schedule it to start automatically. You can specify schedule settings individually for every job created in Veeam Agent. You can perform the following actions with the backup job schedule via command line interface:

- [Specify schedule settings for the job](backup_job_cmd_schedule_set.md).
- [Enable schedule for the job](backup_job_cmd_schedule_enable.md).
- [View the schedule defined for the job](backup_job_cmd_schedule_show.md).
- [Disable schedule for the job](backup_job_cmd_schedule_disable.md).

::: tip

You can also specify backup schedule for the backup job when you create the job. For details, see [Creating Standalone Backup Job](backup_job_create_file-level.md).
