Scheduling Data Protection Tasks

Scheduling backups, snapshots, and antivirus scans, and creating a disaster recovery

Snapshots can be taken to provide a point-in-time image of files and changes to files to help
in quickly recovering from accidental deletion or modification, or to facilitate performing an
offline tape backup of an active data partition.
Navigate to Storage > Snapshots in the browser-based Web Management Interface to create
or schedule snapshots. Go to Storage > Storage Pools to modify the space available for
storing snapshots. Snapshots should be taken when the system is idle or under low data

Antivirus. Click the checkbox to enable antivirus, and click OK. When the configuration link
appears, click it to launch the administration user interface for configuration and
scheduling of virus scans and virus signature file updates.
Create a disaster recovery image on the Maintenance > Disaster Recovery page. This image
should be created after the server configuration is complete, and can be used to recover the
server or a replacement server to the configured state. See
for detailed information on creating and using disaster recovery images.
