Create a Backup Schedule
After installing and configuring the ACS Backup Service, you can create a schedule for backup jobs.
The scheduled backup program backs up to a hard drive. You can select the number of backup files that you want to keep in the directory, and as each successful backup is completed, ACS purges the oldest backup file from the directory. This saves storage space on your hard drive and eliminates older backups.
You can also back up to USB drives and similar media.
For each scheduled backup job that you set up, you can enter a different Destination Directory for backup storage, but you cannot back up to the WINACS or ACSNET directories.
- Open the ACS Backup Utility.
- Enter your ACS username and password.
- In the actions list, click Schedule Backup.
- Under Data Options, select a backup option.
- Under Additional Options, select the appropriate options.
- Enter a schedule name for this job.
- Select the directory where you want to store the backup files.
- Select the number of stored backup files you want to keep in the listed directory.
- Under Frequency, select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
- Under Date/Time, select the specified daily, weekly, or monthly schedule that you want, then click OK.
