Changing the Backup Schedule
When you protect a disk, you specify when you want backups to occur. However, you can change
this schedule at any time.
To change the backup schedule:
1. Click “Schedule”.
2. In the “Protected disk” list, select the disk whose backup schedule you want to change.
3. Specify when you want backups to occur.
For example, if you want backups to occur every day, select “Daily” from the “Recurrence”
list. If you want backups to occur once a week, select the day of the week from the
Recurrence list. Then select the time.
If you don’t want backups to occur automatically, select “Not Scheduled” from the
“Recurrence” list. (The “Time” list appears dimmed.) Backups will occur only when you start
one manually (as described in “Manually Backing up Your Disk” on page 72).
4. Click “Apply”.
The schedule change takes effect immediately, and the date and time of the next scheduled
backup appears in the “Next backup” area.
Changing the Recovery CD Password or Password for
Restoring Hard Disks
When you protect a disk, you specify what password to use for recovering the disk using the recovery
CD. However, you can change this password at any time.
Note
The same password is used for all disks backed up to the same storage system. If you backed up
multiple disks to the same location and change the password for one, the password is changed
for all of them. However, if you backed up one disk to one storage system and a different disk to
a different storage system, each disk can have a different recovery CD password or password for
restoring hard disks.
To change the recovery CD password or password for restoring hard disks:
1. Click “Restore”.
2. In the “Protected disk” list, select a disk whose backup resides on the storage system whose
recovery CD password you want to change.
To double-check your selection, click “Status”. The name of the storage system appears in the
“Backup location” area. Then click “Restore” to return to the “Restore” page.
3. Click “Recovery CD Password”.
4. In the “Recovery CD password” text box, enter the desired password.
This password must be 12–16 characters long.
5. In the “Retype your password” text box, enter the password again.
6. Click “OK”.
