Tuning scheduled activities

Schedule maintenance tasks daily to ensure that your solution operates correctly. By tuning your solution, you maximize server resources and effectively use different functions available within your solution.

1. Monitor system performance regularly to ensure that backup and maintenance tasks are completing successfully. For more information about monitoring, see Monitoring a single-site disk solution.
2. If the monitoring information shows that the server workload increased, you might need to review the planning information. Review whether the capacity of the system is adequate in the following cases:
   • The number of clients increases
   • The amount of data that is being backed up increases
   • The amount of time that is available for backups changes
3. Determine whether your solution has performance issues. Review the client schedules to check whether tasks are completing within the scheduled time frame:
   1. On the Clients page of the Operations Center, select the client.
   2. Click Details.
   3. From the client Summary page, review the Backup Up and Replication activity to identify any risks.
   Adjust the time and frequency of client backup operations, if necessary.
4. Schedule enough time for the following maintenance tasks to complete successfully within a 24-hour period:
   1. Back up the database
   2. Run expiration to remove client backups and archive file copies from server storage.
