Start the client scheduler automatically

You can start the client scheduler automatically when you start your workstation.

If the IBM Spectrum Protect™ administrator has defined schedules for your node, starting the client scheduler permits you to automatically back up your workstation (or perform other scheduled actions).

You can also use the IBM Spectrum Protect Client Acceptor service to manage the scheduler.

IBM Spectrum Protect supports remote network connections to the server. With a remote network connection, mobile users no longer need to dial-in to their company network when a backup is scheduled to run. IBM Spectrum Protect automatically establishes a connection before the scheduled backup occurs. If the connection fails, IBM Spectrum Protect reestablishes the connection before attempting the backup.
