# Schedules

The schedule defines when and on which days snapshots should be created. To define a new schedule use the ![](/files/8UpBgHw6WYyaNZnhCTDS)

* `Schedule Active` - enable or disable executing schedule
* `Name` - schedule name
* `Execution Type` - choose time or interval mode
* `Start Window` - defines for how long since task start time scheduled tasks are allowed to be executed
* `Choose time of day` - for time execution mode defines when the task should be added to the queue
* `Choose time of interval start` - for interval execution mode defines when tasks should start
* `Choose time of interval end` - for interval execution mode defines when tasks should end
* `Frequency` - defines how often the task will be executed during the interval
* `Choose days` - last required parameter, select days of the week on which the task will be performed

You can also use optional parameters to further personalize the backup time or select a virtual environment policy if it has been previously created.

{% hint style="info" %}
When you set the time with a user in a certain time zone, you specify a point in time at which you want the schedule to start. Changing the timezone doesn't change this point in time, it's converted to your timezone. The time displayed to the user is calculated based on the server time.
{% endhint %}
