Custom Schedules

Cloudback provides build-in schedules for daily backups out of the box. If you want to backup on a weekly or monthly basis, you can create your own schedule using the Schedule Manager from the Main Menu. Once you create your own schedule, it becomes available in the Schedule dropdown box of repository settings.
