Scheduling Full Backup

A full backup should be periodically taken to prevent data loss. Post a full backup, an incremental backup can be taken to reduce the backup duration. This topic contains the steps to schedule a full backup and verify if the backup is created.

1. Click Start on your computer and type Task in Search programs and files.

   The Task Scheduler is displayed.

   

2. Click Task Scheduler.
   The Task Scheduler program opens.

   

3. Select Actions>Create Basic Task.

   

   The Create Basic Task Wizard appears.

4. Perform the following actions:
   • Create a Basic Task—Enter the name, and the description of the task.

     

   • Trigger>When do you want the task to start—Select the option Weekly.

     

   • Weekly—Select the options Wednesday and Saturday as the days to schedule full backup.

     

   • Action>What action do you want the task to perform—Select Start a program.

     

     Click Browse and select the batch file you need to run.

     For full backup, select RunVAbackup.bat file.

     

   • Start in (optional)—Enter D:\VoceraAnalytics\vacli.

     The Finish screen appears.

     A basic task is created.
