# Set schedule for snapshots

A recurring daily SnapVX snapshot for a given time can be created.

## About this task

This option can be used to create a recurring daily SnapVX snapshot for a given time. When a failed recurring snapshot keeps failing, an alert is raised to notify the user. The schedule continues to run if a snapshot fails, issuing alerts to the user. The alerts list view retains a record of the failed snapshots (unless the alert is deleted). A warning level alert is issued. There is no end date for the schedule that is specified when setting it up, so you must cancel the schedule manually.

## Steps

1. In the third page of the wizard for creating snapshots, click Set Schedule.
2. Select an execution date and an execution time.
3. Optional: Select Notify me when a job is completed checkbox.
4. Optional: Click Configure Notifications (see Configure email notifications).
5. Click OK.
