Scheduling Cloud Restore

You can schedule a time for a cloud plan to execute. Only the restore process can be scheduled — all other operations must be performed manually in the Orchestrator UI.

To schedule a cloud plan:

  1. Navigate to Recovery Plans.
  2. Select the plan. From the Launch menu, select Schedule.

-OR-

  1. At the Schedule Options step, set the Scheduled execution toggle to On, and choose whether you want to run the plan on schedule or after any other plan.
  • If you want to run the plan at a specific time, select the Schedule on option, click the Schedule icon, set the desired date and time, and click Apply.
  • If you want to run the plan after another plan, select the Schedule after option and click Choose a Plan. Then, in the Select Plan window, select the necessary plan and click OK.

For a plan to be displayed in the Available Plans list, it must be ENABLED as described in section Running and Scheduling Cloud Plans.

  1. At the Malware Scan step, choose whether you want to check restore points created for machines included in the plan for malware flags. You can also decide whether you want to scan these restore points with antivirus software, YARA rules or both.

By default, Orchestrator checks a maximum of 10 recently created restore points for each machine. If no clean restore point is found, Orchestrator performs the following actions depending on whether you have specified a quarantine network when configuring the cloud recovery location:

  • In case you have specified a quarantine network, Orchestrator connects the machine to the network.
  • In case you have not specified a quarantine network, Orchestrator halts the plan and cancels the restore operation.

Tip

You can disable a configured schedule if you no longer need it. To do that, set the Scheduled execution toggle to Off at the Schedule Options step of the Schedule Plan wizard.
