- Scheduled backup time: Set the time at which the backup should start. Schedule backup as Daily or select the days for backup.

- Backup end-time: Use the drop-down options to configure a soft or hard cut-off for the end time. You may also choose to disable the option.

Note: Hard cut-off will terminate backup on the specified end time. For soft cut-off, the actual end time is dependent on the ongoing tasks that are in progress.
