Specifying Weekly Schedule

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

1. Set the Weekly retention toggle to On and click Edit weekly settings.
2. In the Weekly schedule window, select week days when the backup policy must create backups.

3. Use the Create restore points at drop-down list to schedule a specific time for the backup policy to run.

4. In the Weekly retention section, configure retention policy settings for the weekly schedule.

For backups, specify the number of days (or months) for which you want to keep restore points in a backup chain.

If a restore point is older than the specified time limit, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure removes the restore point from the chain. For more information, see Retention Policy for Backups.

5. In the Repository section, select a backup repository where the created backups must be stored. For a backup repository to be displayed, it must be created as described in Adding Backup Repositories section.
6. To save changes made to the backup policy settings, click Apply.
