Backup Exec provides a simple, yet flexible way to schedule your backup jobs. The scheduling process is simplified by a series of dialog boxes that guide you through the process of scheduling your backup job.
If you are running Microsoft System Agent or Internet Explorer (4.x or higher) Task Scheduler on your machine, these schedulers will automatically be used to run your scheduled backup jobs.
If neither System Agent nor Task Scheduler is installed on your machine, Backup Exec provides a scheduler for you.
When running Backup Exec after initial installation, a prompt appears asking if you would like to start the Backup Exec Scheduler. Click Yes
to start the scheduler. If No
is selected at this time, the prompt will re-appear when you attempt to schedule a backup job.
