Aranda Datasafe will automatically back up devices that use a Policy. The first backup is done about 10 minutes after a device is first activated, and after that, backups run on a regular schedule.
You can set the schedule in the Backup & Restore settings for a Policy.
Set the schedule for automatic backups
1. Open the Policy Editor for the Policy you want to change (click Policies and then click Policy).
2. Click on the Backup & Restore tab.
3. Use the Run device backups option in all options to choose how often automatic backups will be performed. You can choose:
- 1 hour
- 2 hours
- 4 hours
- 48 hours
- Click Save or Save & Close to confirm.
Example: If you have a ‘Finance’ policy and have set it to back up every 2 hours. It also has a ‘Finance’ team and has been assigned the ‘Finance’ policy.
The Finance team’s devices will have their data backed up automatically every 2 hours (since that’s the schedule defined in the policy used by their team).
For devices on other computers, the backup schedule might be different, as your computers may use a different policy that is configured to back up at a different time, such as every 8 hours.
