By default, all backup jobs are scheduled to automatically run every day. You can edit these
settings after you create each backup job. For more information, see
page 96.
Before trusting your backup job to a schedule, it is a good practice to manually perform the
backup to make sure that access to the remote backup source or destination is granted, and
that the backup job can be done within the backup frequency you selected. You can do this
after you create each backup job. For more information, see
page 98.
Backup and recovery jobs using Time Machine require different procedures. For more
