Set schedules

Shadow copy schedules control how frequently shadow copies of a volume are made. There are
a number of factors that can help determine the most effective shadow copy schedule for an
organization. These include the work habits and locations of the users. For example, if users do
not all live in the same time zone, or they work on different schedules, it is possible to adjust the
daily shadow copy schedule to allow for these differences.
Do not schedule shadow copies more frequently than once per hour.
NOTE: When deleting a shadow copy schedule, that action has no effect on existing shadow
copies.
