Scheduling backups: specify SQL Server

Scheduling backups > Specify SQL Server > Select backup type and database > Create backup schedules > File settings > Processing and encryption settings > Review summary

This topic describes the wizard page for selecting the SQL Server when you are scheduling backup jobs.

In the Server to back up list, click the name of the SQL Server instance for the databases that you want to back up. SQL Servers that are not currently available (for example, because they are disconnected) are not displayed in the list.

Note that if the selected SQL Server does not have the server components installed, a warning is displayed and you must install the server components to proceed.

If you have previously saved any templates using the Back Up wizard, these are displayed in the right-hand pane.

To use a template, select the Use an existing template check box and click the name of the template in the list; when you click Next, the wizard will display those settings for you to edit if required. To delete a template, click the name of the template in the list and click Delete.
