  • Name: schedule name

  • Time: you may only select a time at least 2 hours from the current time of editing to ensure the schedule runs correctly

  • Start date: the date the snapshot schedule begins repeating; if left blank, it starts from the moment the schedule is successfully created

  • End date: the date the snapshot schedule ends; if left blank, the schedule has no expiration

  • Frequency: the frequency at which the snapshot action is performed

  • * Daily: schedule runs hourly each day
  • * Weekly: schedule runs weekly; you can select specific days of the week
  • Applied Instance: the virtual machines attached to the schedule (Note: each virtual machine can only be attached to one schedule at a time)
