Changing schedule options for a DLO backup job

You can change backup job schedule options if the DLO administrator has set your profile so that you can view the complete Desktop Agent and modify settings.

To change schedule options for a backup job

  1. In the Tasks bar, under Tools, click Settings.

  2. On the Schedule tab, select the appropriate options as follows, and then click OK:

    Use Profile schedule

    Select Use Profile schedule from the drop-down menu to use the scheduling options that are specified in the profile.

    If this option is selected, additional settings on the Schedule tab cannot be modified.

    Use custom schedule

    Select Use custom schedule from the drop-down menu to specify a customized schedule that differs from the profile schedule.

    Whenever a file changes

    Select Whenever a file changes to back up files automatically whenever they change.

    This feature is available only for NTFS file systems. For FAT file systems, type a number of minutes or hours between backups in the Back up changes files every field.

    According to a schedule

    Select this option to back up files according to a schedule. The default is to run a backup at 11:00 P.M. every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

    Click Modify to change this default.

    Manually

    Select Manually to run a backup only when you initiate it.

    Do nothing

    Select Do nothing from the drop-down menu to proceed with a logout, restart, or shutdown even when there are files that require backup.

    If a job is already running, a prompt asks if the user would like to log out, restart or shutdown when the job is complete.

    Prompt user to run job

    Select Prompt user to run job from the drop-down menu to have DLO prompt the user to run a backup job before proceeding with the logout, restart, or shutdown.

    If a job is already running, a prompt asks if the job should be canceled to continue with the logout, restart, or shutdown.

    Run job immediately

    Select Run job immediately from the drop-down menu to back up waiting files without prompting before proceeding with a logout, restart, or shutdown.

    If a job is already running, a prompt asks if the job should be canceled to continue with the logout, restart, or shutdown.

    Run job as scheduled

    Select Run job as scheduled from the drop-down menu to proceed with a logout, restart, or shutdown and back up files according to the schedule.

    If a job is already running, a prompt asks if the job should be canceled to continue with the logout, restart, or shutdown.

    Run job at next login

    Select Run job at next login from the drop-down menu to proceed with a logout, restart, or shutdown without prompting, and run a job at the next logon.

    If a job is already running, a prompt asks if the job should be canceled to continue with the logout, restart, or shutdown.
