This wizard is launched when a new Schedule item is added to a Schedule. It shows the Schedule item options and allows them to be configured.

Figure. Schedule Item Wizard - Item Type
Table.
Control Description
RPO Backup Window A backup event can only start during a backup window. By default, an implicit backup window is used that operates all day, every day. If a custom backup window element is created, then the default backup window is ignored.
Exclude Window A backup event cannot start during an exclusion window.
Trigger Time Similar to a backup window, except that it mandates that a backup event must occur at the specified time or date, unless it occurs during an exclude period.
The schedule item attributes are set by first selecting the corresponding operation type to display the corresponding wizard page:
  • Weekly
  • Monthly
Figure. Schedule Item Wizard - Weekly

Weekly – As shown above, Weekly items are used to define schedules based on the days of the week. For example, you can create a schedule element that only occurs on weekends, or that never occurs on weekdays of the last week of the month. At least one day must be specified, while weeks are optional (every week is assumed if none are selected).

Note: The weeks listed do not refer to calendar weeks. The First Week of a month always includes the days from the 1st until the 7th, the Second Week includes the days from the 8th to the 14th, and so on. The Last week always refers to the 7 days prior to (and including) the last day of the month.
Control Description
Days Select one or more days of the week.
Weeks Select one or more weeks of the month.
Time Can be one of:
  • All Day - operation can happen at any time of day. This option is disabled for the Trigger schedule item type.
  • Scheduled Time - Set a start time and duration window within which the operation can or cannot occur.
Start Time Only enabled once Scheduled Time has been selected. Select the time in HH:MM format for the operation to start.
Duration Only enabled once Scheduled Time has been selected. Enter the duration in HH:MM format for the window in which the operation is allowed to or prevented from starting.
Figure. Schedule Item Wizard - Monthly

Monthly – As shown above, Monthly elements are used to define schedules based on days of the month. A monthly schedule element is applied on the same day or days each month. For instance, an element could be defined that triggers a backup on the last day of the month, or an element could be set to prevent backups from occurring on even numbered days. At least one day must be selected in order for a Monthly element to be valid. If the month in question does not contain the selected day (example: 29th Feb in a non-leap year) then the schedule element will not be applied.
