When to perform backups
You can perform both on-demand and scheduled backups of file system data or the System State and critical disks.
A best practice is to perform an on-demand backup before a system upgrade, installation, or any major change to the server. You may also want to perform an on-demand backup immediately after you install and register the Avamar Client for Windows.
Perform scheduled backups to ensure that there are backups of data on an ongoing basis. You can perform scheduled backups on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The Avamar Operational Best Practices Guide, available in Online Support at https://www.dell.com/support, provides guidance on scheduling backups with other system activities.
