# Enabling Backup Schedule

After you define the schedule, Veeam Agent automatically enables this schedule for the specified backup job. If you disable the schedule for the backup job, you can enable it again by using the following command:

```
veeamconfig schedule enable --jobid <job_id>
```

or

```
veeamconfig schedule enable --jobname <job_name>
```

where:

- `<job_id>` — ID of the backup job for which you want to enable the schedule. You should look up the job ID in advance, for example, with the veeamconfig job list command. To learn more, see [Viewing List of Backup Jobs](backup_job_list.md).
- `<job_name>` — name of the backup job for which you want to enable the schedule.

For example:

```
user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig schedule enable --jobid 4849a3ae-1935-4969-98a3-d8acd2f6c73f
```

You can disable the schedule for the job at any time. To learn more, see [Disabling Backup Schedule](backup_job_cmd_schedule_disable.md).
