Backups & restore points · When backups run
How do I schedule a backup for a specific time?
Short answer: Click Change… on the backup set's card, choose On a schedule, then pick every hour, every few hours, every day at a set time, or every week, and click Done.
On the backup set's card, click Change… next to the line that says when it runs, choose On a schedule, pick how often and when, then click Done.
The choices are: - Every hour, at a minute you pick (:00, :15, :30 or :45). - Every few hours — every 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours, anchored to midnight so the times stay the same each day. - Every day at a time you choose. - Every week on a weekday and time you choose.
The card then shows the rule in plain English — for example "Every day at 02:00" — and when the next backup will happen.
