Scheduled backups are data backup processes which proceed automatically on a scheduled basis without additional computer or user intervention. The advantage of using scheduled backups instead of manual backups is that a backup process can be run during off-peak hours when data is unlikely to be accessed, precluding or reducing the impact of backup window downtime.
Scheduled backups running as part of an
agentless backup system, such as that provided by CRC DataProtection, saves administrative labor by performing data backup for an unlimited number of machines. Scheduled backups for organizations using remote or
online backup usually transfer data
incrementally, instead of performing a full data backup each time a backup is scheduled. Additionally, a scheduled backup system can notify a backup administrator upon completion of the backup data transfer.
Because scheduled backups run automatically without intervention, some data backup service providers such as CRC DataProtection include features like autonomic
self-healing of backup data to resume data transfer following an interruption while repairing any logical inconsistencies or errors caused by a lapse in connectivity.
