Backups
The following sections provide customization information for Rescue and Recovery
backups.
Scheduling backups and associated tasks
The scheduler is not designed to be specific to the Rescue and Recovery program;
however, the configuration is stored in the registry. When the Rescue and Recovery
program is installed, it will populate the scheduler with the appropriate settings.
Here is a description of the structure for the scheduler:
v
Location: Install folder.
v
Entry for each scheduled task.
v
Script to run.
v
Named pipe to be used for progress notifications. This is an optional setting.
v
Schedule information monthly, weekly, daily, weekday, or weekend - multiple
schedules. Tuesdays and Fridays for example, can be supported by creating two
schedules.
v
Parameters to pass to tasks.
For the Rescue and Recovery program, perform incremental backups on schedule,
with callbacks before and after the backup.
