Scheduling regular backup jobs

When you have created the backup configuration, you can set up the system to automatically backup regularly according to your backup strategy.

The regular backup files will consume some disk space and increase in size over time, so it is highly recommended to use a remote location. See how to clean up old backups here.

1. Open the Webmin web interface by selecting Administration>Webmin in the ITA web client.
   Alternatively, type the address of your ITA server in a Web browser followed by :10000, <https://>:10000 . 
2. Log on to Webmin using the user credentials created during installation of IT Advisor.
3. In the left menu, select System>Scheduled Cron Jobs.
4. To enable the default backup schedule:
   1. Select one of the 3 backup options as needed:
      
      • Daily
      • Weekly
      • Monthly
   2. Click Enable Selected Jobs to enable the job with the default settings. Note that per default the daily backup option is enabled.
