Step 8: Set up Disaster Recovery schedules

Certain operations in FactoryTalk AssetCentre can be scheduled to run regularly at set intervals or at a specific time. AssetCentre offers Disaster Recovery for devices that support Backup and Backup and Compare operations. If you create a schedule for a container, any devices in the container will automatically be added to the schedule. Any schedules you create will appear for all FactoryTalk AssetCentre users in your system.
