Automate Backup
A thorough backup strategy should include automating your backups. Just as your antivirus program updates itself automatically, so too should your backups be automated.You do this by creating a Scheduled Job. You have two options: 1) Use the Backup or Restore Wizard, and on the summary screen click the Advanced button. 2) Use the Schedule Jobs tab when running the Backup Utility in Advanced mode.If you use the wizard interface, it will continue the interview, asking you first about what kind of backup to create and the backup options to use.The Schedule Jobs tab brings up a calendar interface. To get started with a scheduled backup, click the Add Job button in the lower-right corner.This Add Job button launches a wizard, and once again you will be prompted about what to backup and where to store the file. The key to the scheduled backup job, naturally, is the "When to Backup" portion of the wizard's interrogation. As shown in Figure 13-6, you configure the backup schedule by making sure the "Later" radio button is selected, and then using the Set Schedule button.
