Scheduling administrative processes
The default configuration for administrative processes is as follows:
• The Daily Admin process is scheduled to run once every day between 20:00 and 06:00.
• The Weekly Admin process is scheduled to run once a week between 20:00 Friday and 06:00 Monday.
NOTE: To distribute the administrative process load across many DS-Clients, the default start time is randomly determined by an algorithm based on the DS-Client number, which results in a time with an interval of 15 minutes (for example: 19:30 or 01:45).
No other activities are allowed while an administrative process executes. If an activity is running at the time the administrative process is scheduled, it waits for all activities to finish. Therefore it is possible that the scheduled administrative process never gets the opportunity to run (for example, if you have scheduled backups that run 24hours a day, 7days a week). If it is not possible to schedule an administrative process, you should occasionally run one manually.
NOTE: We recommend that you schedule administrative processes at times that do not conflict with scheduled backup activities.
