You can create a schedule for snapshot rules to specify how often a rule should run.

  1. Navigate to Data Management > Protection > Snapshots > Snapshot Schedules, and then click Add schedule.
  2. In the Add Snapshot Schedule dialog box, complete the following information, and then click Save.
    1. Select the EVS and associated snapshot rule that you want to schedule.
    2. Select one of the following schedules:
      • Periodic: Select a frequency to run the scheduled rule. For example, if you set it to run every 4 hours and enter a time range in 24 hours format, the snapshot rule automatically runs and takes a snapshot every four hours within the specified time.
      • Once Daily: Select the days of the week and specify the time. For example, if you select Wednesday and Sunday and specify 15:30, the snapshot rule will automatically run and take a snapshot every Wednesday and Sunday at the specified time.
    3. Add one or more email addresses to receive snapshot notifications.
    The snapshot schedule is created.
