Example 1:
Perform full backups on the first Sunday of the month and differential backups weekly on Fridays:

  • In the advanced schedule, under Full backup, select Run Monthly

  • Set the time you wish the backup to run, and then select on the first Sun of the month
  • Mark the checkbox next to Differential Backup (optional) to enable differential backup schedule
  • Select Run Weekly and set the time for the backup to run and under on the following days select Fri

Example 2:
Perform full backups weekly on Sunday, incremental backups daily every 5 hours the rest of the week, and on the beginning of a new week, delete the backups of the last week

  •  In the advanced schedule, under Full backup, select Run Weekly
  • Set the time you wish the backup to run, and under on the following days select Sun

  • Mark the checkbox next to Incremental Backup (optional) to enable incremental backup schedule
  • Select Run Every Few Hours, in Run Every set it to 5 hours, and under on the following days select Mon, Tue, Wed, Thurs, Fri, and Sat
