Backup Media Rotations and Scheduling Options

Typically, the most convenient time for you to schedule backup operations is after business hours, when backup processing does not use valuable network bandwidth. Arcserve Backup provides you with the tools you need to automate your backup operations.

Arcserve Backup allows you to establish a schedule so that your backup automatically repeats at regular intervals, allowing you to regularly and reliably back up your data at any time. The Backup Manager provides you with scheduling options and rotation schemes to help you establish your automatic backup strategy.

Note: If you are using WORM media, you cannot use rotation schemes. By definition, WORM media cannot be overwritten, so you cannot recycle it in a rotation scheme or a media pool.
