Modifying protection schedules
You can modify the protection schedules for specific volumes on a machine.
To modify protection schedules:

change.
The Summary tab displays for the machine.
2.
Select the volumes for the protected machine that you want to change, and click

select all volumes at once, click in the checkbox in the header row.

drive).
