Schedule Backup Tasks
You should ideally set up a schedule for running backups. Backups are best run at a time when there are the least amount of active users on the system.
In addition to the four on-demand backup tasks supplied by default, you can create additional definitions of these four backup tasks. For example, to alternate backups between two disk drives, you could create a backup task for each drive.
Use the InterSystems Task Manager to schedule these backup tasks:
-
Navigate to the Task Scheduler wizard in the Management Portal (System Operation > Task Manager > New Task).
-
Click Schedule New Task.
-
Specify the Task name, Description, Task type, in addition to any changes to the defaults and click Next.
-
Enter your desired scheduling information and click Finish.
You can now view your task on the View Task Schedule page (System Operation > Task Manager > View Task Schedule) and manage it as you do other tasks by clicking Details on its row.
