Exiting Scheduler
PZEach time you quit, the Scheduler prompts you to save any changes. By
default, the Scheduler will automatically save the changes to disk.
Help Topics
Scheduling a Backup
PZUsing the Scheduler, you can have CPBACKUP perform backups at
designated times. For example, you could have Backup run and back up
your files every Friday at 5:00pm. After the backup was completed, you
could quit CPBACKUP and have the Scheduler return you to the
application you were originally running.
To schedule a Backup session:
1. Create a setup file in CPBACKUP.
2. In Backup, choose the SCHEDULE option or type SCHEDULE CPBACKUP
at the DOS command line.
3. Choose Add and then select the date, time, freqency and setup
file you want to schedule.
NOTE: The Scheduler works in conjunction with CPSCHED.EXE, a TSR that
requires approximately 4K of memory. Your scheduled Backup session
cannot run unless the CPSCHED TSR is loaded.
