You can create a backup job to run as frequently as every minute or as rarely as once a year. To
best protect your data, select every day of the week in which new and important data is generated (i.e.,
every business day).

Modifying Rotation Types

Rotation types can be set up to create media sets and groups for Day, Week, Month, and Year backups.
This is helpful when the default settings do not fit your business needs or when a job fails to run because
of a network problem or malfunction.
You select the rotation type as part of the settings for a schedule that is run repeatedly.
You can modify the Interval Settings based on the rotation type. For example, for some reason a Weekly
backup job has failed to run when scheduled. It is important that this job be run as soon as possible to
retain your full data recovery plan. In the following example, the Weekly backup job that was scheduled
to run on Saturday is rescheduled to run on Monday by changing Monday from a Daily backup to a
Weekly backup.
In another example, you have specifed a Custom Rotation, and you decide to change the backup mode
setting for all Daily backups from Full to Incremental
