13. On the Schedule page, configure the desired schedule.  
      - To run the job at specific time daily, on defined week days or with specific periodicity, select Daily at this time. Use the fields on the right to configure the necessary schedule.
      - To run the job repeatedly throughout a day with a specific time interval, select Periodically every. In the field on the right, select the necessary time period. Click Set schedule and use the time table to define the permitted time window for the job.
        
        A repeatedly run job is started by the following rules:
        
        For example, you have configured a job to run with a 2-hour interval and defined permitted hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. According to the rules above, the job will first run at 9:00 AM, when the denied period is over. After that, the job will run at 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM.
        
            1. In the Automatic retry section, define whether Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 must attempt to run the backup job again if the job fails for some reason. Type the number of attempts to run the job and define time intervals between them.
            2. In the Terminate the job if it exceeds allowed backup window section, define the time interval within which the backup job must complete. The backup window prevents the job from overlapping with production hours and ensures that the job does not impact performance of your server.
        
        To set up a backup window for the job:
        
            1. Select the Terminate job if it exceeds allowed backup window check box and click Configure backup window.
            2. In the Schedule window, define the allowed hours and prohibited hours for backup.
        
        If the job exceeds the allowed window, it will be automatically terminated.![](https://kb.vsystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-23-2025-05-57-32-7536-PM.png?width=688&height=546&name=image-png-Oct-23-2025-05-57-32-7536-PM.png)
14. On the Summary page, *optionally,* check **Start the job when I click Finish** to start the initial backup \> click **Finish**.
