The backup process should be scheduled during a time when as few people as possible are using their networked computers. This is usually during the late evening or early morning hours. The default time for backup is 6:00pm until 9:00am. The server attempts to back up client computers only during the scheduled window of time.
However, if your business is active during these traditionally off hours, you may want to change these default settings.
-
Open the server Dashboard, and then click Devices.
-
In Devices Tasks, click Customize Computer Backup and File History settings.
-
In Client computer backup settings and tools, on the Computer Backup tab, you can change the start and end times to meet your needs.
-
Click Apply, and then click OK.
