Run an archive or purge job automatically

You can schedule an archive or purge job using the Windows Task Scheduler on the APR server. This allows the archive or purge job to run automatically at a pre-determined time or on a regular basis, such as daily, monthly, and so on.

Restore jobs cannot be run automatically. They must be run manually.

You must configure the scheduled job on the same computer as the APR server using the Windows Task Scheduler.

The proxy must be configured to send requests to this service in order for the command line program to send its requests.
