Scheduling a recurring snapshot job

After you have created, configured, and saved a snapshot specification, you can schedule snapshot specification a recurring snapshot job. After the schedule is set, you can edit the schedule according to your needs.

To schedule a recurring snapshot specification:

In the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Audit and Remediation > Snapshot Specifications.
Select either Windows or UNIX.
Select a snapshot and then double-click to open it.
In the Snapshot Specification window Views pane, select Schedule.
In the Schedule section, choose to run the snapshot job immediately or on a recurring schedule. Choose to run it once, daily, weekly, monthly, or on a custom schedule:
- None: No schedule will be set. To run the snapshot job, select the snapshot specification, right-click, and select Run Audit.
- Daily: Choose to run the snapshot job on a daily basis.
- Weekly: Choose a day of the week to run the snapshot specification job.
- Monthly: Choose the months to run the snapshot specification job.
- Custom: In the Custom Crontab string field, enter a string the indicates a time schedule.
  
  A crontab file has five fields for specifying the day of the week, the month, the day of the month, the hour, and the minute. The following diagram shows each position in the crontab file, what the position corresponds to, and the allowed values:
  
  The crontab string can include serial (1,2,3,4) and range (1-5) values. Only some operating systems support the minutes format /2 or /10 for running the audit every 2 minutes or 10 minutes. An asterisk (*) denotes all values for that field, such as all months of the year. Days can be specified in two fields: month day and week day. If both days are specified, both of the values will be executed. All operating systems support comma-separated values within each field. For example:
  
  5,10 0 10 * 1 means run an audit 12.05 and 12.10 AM every month or on the 10th and on every Monday.
  For more information about crontab entry formats, consult the UNIX man pages.
- In the Time and Duration section, for each type of schedule, specify the hour and minute you want the daily schedule to start. Unless you specify an end time, the snapshot specification job will keep running indefinitely. To choose an end date to end the audit schedule, select End, and then choose an end date. The Time Zone is set according to the time zone set in your user profile.
- (Optional) Deselect the End option if you want the snapshot specification job to run indefinitely.
To save the snapshot specification job schedule, from the File menu select Save. The snapshot specification will now run according to the defined schedule.
