Notes 

  • Once a backup is preserved, it cannot be automatically deleted. It must be manually deleted. To delete a preserved backup, see Using the Preserved tab.

  • To change the time of the once-a-day, auto-backup schedule, use the following CLI command:

    fmsadmin set backuptime hh:mm

    where hh:mm is the time for the auto-backup schedule to run. hh specifies the hour; the range for hh is 00 to 23. mm specifies the minutes; the range for mm is 00 to 59.

    See Using the command line interface.

  • To stop the once-a-day, auto-backup schedule from running, use the following CLI command:

    fmsadmin disable schedule 1
