A device backup operation can be scheduled as a one-time occurrence, or on a periodic basis. When a device is created on an SDM, the backup schedule for it is disabled, by default.

  1. Select Configuration > Backup Management on the SDM user interface. The Device Backup Management page displays.
  2. Click Schedule Backup. The contents of the Device Backup Management page are updated to display a list of devices on the SDM, and the backup schedule information for these devices. Options for modifying the schedule information are also included.
  3. (Optional) Specify one or more filtering parameters in the upper portion of the window.
  4. Click Filter. The list of devices is filtered accordingly.
  5. Select the checkbox for the device to view the backup schedule for a device. Next, click View/Modify Schedule. Backup schedule information for the selected device is displays on the lower pane of the screen.
  6. Select the checkbox for each device to edit the backup schedule for one or more devices. Next, click View/Modify Schedule. The page is updated to include a Schedule Backup pane.
  7. Enter the schedule details using the Schedule Backup pane.
  8. Click Apply. A backup operation is scheduled for the selected devices, per the configured schedule information.
    NOTE:

    When viewing backup schedules:

    - If a single device is selected, the actual configured values will be shown if the device is already configured; otherwise, the default values will be shown.

    - If multiple devices are selected, the default values will be shown, as it is assumed that the configured values will be always different between the selected devices.
