How to set my backup to run once a month?

Zoolz will run the backup depending on the backup frequency or backup schedule that you have set in it.

If you have decided to run Zoolz at certain schedule, then Zoolz will use Windows Task Scheduler to achieve that. So, if you want to set Zoolz to run once a month, here is how to do so:

  1. Open your Zoolz desktop software → Settings → Schedule → Select the On schedule option and set any day and time to start the backup at → Save the changes.

  2. Now, from your Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Double click Task Scheduler.
  3. From the left panel of the Windows Task Scheduler, select Task Scheduler Library.
  4. Double-click the Zoolz Start Backup task from the list of your scheduled tasks.
  5. From the Triggers tab, select the trigger that appears there and click on the Edit button.
  6. From the window that will appear select Monthly and from the Months drop down menu select all the months and from the Days menu, select the day that you want the backup to run at.
