Scheduling snapshots

You can schedule snapshots of your target data to fit your environment and needs. If the target data is in a bad state at the time of a scheduled snapshot, the snapshot will be delayed until the data on the target reaches a good state. If multiple scheduled snapshots are delayed, only one snapshot will be taken when the data reaches a good state.

  1. Open the Replication Console.
  2. Right-click the connection on the right pane of the Replication Console and select Connection Manager.
  3. Select the Snapshot tab. You will not see the Snapshots tab if your server does not meet the snapshot requirements.

  1. Select Enable Scheduled Snapshots.
  2. Specify when snapshots should be taken, indicating minutes, hours, or days. The snapshots should be at least 15 minutes apart. By default, a snapshot is taken every hour.
  3. Specify if you want the snapshots to start immediately. Otherwise, enter a date and time for when the snapshot schedule will begin.
  4. Click OK to save the settings.
