Adding a Backup Job

You can create backup jobs for all devices, or individual groups of devices in Configuration Source Management.

After you define the search criteria, you define the job schedule. The schedule configuration displays in the Triggers column. The triggers for a job represent the job schedule. You can have multiple schedules that are configured. For example, you can configure two schedule options so a job runs every Monday and the first of every month.
