backup schedule

Alternative planning timeline

A backup schedule is a plan specifying when data copies are made—daily, weekly, or at other intervals.

Organizations set backup schedules to balance data protection against storage costs and system performance: The IT department runs backups on a nightly schedule.

Personal devices often have automatic backup schedules that run when idle or connected to power.
