Check the box and use the drop down menu to select the schedule type for the recurring full base or incremental backup.
Options include Weekly, Monthly or Specified Date. Uncheck the box to disable the schedule instead of deleting. To create a task you need to have at least one schedule enabled.

By enabling [Run at System Shutdown/Restart] option enabled for event-triggered backup, the backup task is started upon system shutdown or restart.
* Home edition or its equivalent does not provide the features for monitoring the progress or canceling running backup tasks.
* If Quick Start-up is enabled in the system environment, [Run at System Shutdown] does not work.
* for Hyper-V Enterprise Edition does not provide this feature.
With [Auto run missed schedule task] enabled, skipped task at system shutdown, if any, is automatically executed when the system is rebooted.
*Note, task skipped during events such as system maintenance or Windows updates will also be run when enabling this option. If you do not want to run tasks during these times we recommend disabling this option.

Configure Options
Configurable options include reconciliation, a retention policy, deletion of pre-reconciliation incremental image files and notifications.
Enable Reconcile Image Option - Enabling this option provides a means to keep continuity in an incremental image set should an incremental file become compromised, is deleted or corrupted. If this option is disabled and an incremental file in an image set is deleted or corrupted, the subsequently executed backup task creates a base back file.
Enable Retention Policy - Check this box to enable a retention policy as to how many sets of incremental backup files to retain before deletion.
Delete older image before new base backup - Select this radio button to delete the most obsolete generation before creating a new image set.
Delete both full and incremental..... - Select this radio button to delete both full and incremental files based on the retention policy settings
Retain the full image file when..... - Selecting this option deletes only the incremental files based on the retention policy.
Sending Mail - Check this box to send E-Mail informing you of a task completed with a specified status. Predefine the E-Mail notification settings by selecting [Preferences] - [Notification] from the menu bar.
Select a level of task Execution Priority. Task execution priority level may be selected for both full and incremental backups respectively.
