Viewing Existing Schedules

Existing schedules can be viewed and managed on the 'Schedules' page of SiteBackup:

Selecting one of the schedules from this list will display a calendar view on the right to show the level of backups that will run automatically, and when they will run:

Additional information about the schedules is also shown under the 'Triggers', 'Retention Rules', and 'Options' sections, showing the settings that were specified on each page during the schedule's creation.


Managing Schedules

Selecting one of the action buttons next to the schedule name will perform an action:

Edit

The 'Edit' button in the top right of the page, in line with the schedule's name, can be selected to reopen the 'Add Schedule' wizard at the beginning.

Alternatively, additional 'Edit' buttons are displayed next to 'Triggers', 'Retention Rules', and 'Options'; selecting one of these buttons will open the 'Add Schedule' wizard on the relevant page, enabling rapid editing of schedules.

Delete

This button will delete the schedule. It is important to note that the deletion of a schedule is permanent.

Deleting a schedule may fail if the schedule is in use on the 'Active Backups' page. In this case, deleting the schedule will require those scheduled backups to be removed or changed to use a different schedule, read more about the 'Active Backups' page here.

Copy

This button enables an existing schedule to be rapidly copied. This can be useful when creating a new schedule with similar settings or triggers to an existing schedule. When 'Copy' is selected, a window will be displayed prompting for a name for the new schedule:

After selecting 'OK', the new definition will be shown in the list of existing definitions and will have exactly the same configuration as the copied definition:
