You can schedule automatic daily, weekly, monthly or delayed LAN system backups that occur once or repeatedly at specified times or dates.
Before You Begin
Manually back up the LAN to confirm it is configured properly before you schedule automatic backups.
Notes:
If Auto Backup is interrupted, it will not resume from where it was interrupted—it will always start at the beginning.
