About the Enterprise Vault Snapshot Scheduler Wizard

You can use the Enterprise Vault Snapshot Scheduler Wizard to add a snapshot schedule for a selected component. With the wizard, you can schedule multiple Enterprise Vault components at a time.

The Enterprise Vault Snapshot Scheduler Wizard does not prepare the snapshot volume. You need to use the Enterprise Vault Prepare Wizard before running the Enterprise Vault Snapshot Scheduler Wizard to schedule a new snapshot set for Enterprise Vault.

As an example, you may configure a daily snapshot for Quick Recovery use and also add a weekly snapshot on a different disk for backup use.
