5. Select the remote storage location if desired (strongly recommended). You may also choose to delete the local copy of the backup once they have been transferred to the remote location.
6. Configure the Task scheduler for daily, weekly or monthly backups. If you choose a weekly schedule, you can select specific days to backup. 
7. Specify a backup Time. The best time to backup is typically the time of day your site has the lowest traffic.
