   If you have created plans earlier, those plans are displayed on the center pane.

3. On the center pane, click Add a Plan.

4. Enter a plan name.
5. (Optional) Select the Pause this plan check box.

   The plan will not run until you clear the check box to resume the plan.

   Note: After a plan is paused, all jobs are paused except the restore job and the copy job. The running jobs are not affected. If you pause a plan that has pending jobs, then those pending jobs will also pause. When you resume the plan, the pending jobs does not resume immediately. After you resume the plan, the pending jobs will run from the next scheduled time. You can find the schedule of the next job form the home page of Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows).
