Step 3a. Configure Backup Schedules

In the Backup schedule section of the Backup step of the wizard, configure default and custom schedules for the backup policy.

Veeam Backup for Salesforce has 3 built-in schedules:

• Hourly — this schedule launches a backup policy session at the beginning of every hour.
• Daily — this schedule launches a backup policy session every day at 00:00 UTC.
• Weekly — this schedule launches a backup policy session every Sunday at 00:00 UTC.

Specifying Default Schedule for Backup Policy

From the Default schedule for this policy drop-down list, select a default schedule that will be used to back up data of all objects of the protected organization that have no custom schedules assigned, to back up object metadata, to back up files and attachments if you specify any at step 4, and to back up new objects and fields if you select this option in the Additional backup options section. You can select one of the built-in schedules or create a new one as described in section Creating Schedules.

Specifying Custom Schedules for Protected Objects

If some objects are updated frequently and need to be backed up more or less often than other objects belonging to the protected Salesforce organization, you can assign custom schedules to these objects. Veeam Backup for Salesforce will launch a separate backup session to protect each group of objects according to the assigned schedule. It is recommended that you assign the same schedule to the related Salesforce objects to ensure that these objects can be restored properly.

To assign a schedule to an object, do the following:

1. Click the link in the Custom schedules field.
2. In the Specify schedule per object window, do the following:

1. In the Object list, select check boxes next to the objects that must be protected according to a specific schedule.
2. Click Assign schedule, choose the necessary schedule from the Schedule drop-down list in the Assign schedule window, and click Assign.

3. Click Apply to save the changes.
