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.
