About the VSS Snapshot Scheduler Wizard

You can use the VSS Snapshot Scheduler Wizard to add a snapshot schedule for a selected database. This wizard uses the same scheduling process as the Quick Recovery wizard. However, you can only schedule one database at a time.

Unlike the Quick Recovery Configuration Wizard, which enables you to perform all aspects of snapshot configuration, the VSS Snapshot Scheduler Wizard does not include preparing the snapshot volume. Therefore, you must use the Prepare command before running the VSS Snapshot Scheduler Wizard to schedule a new snapshot set. Also, you can only schedule one database at a time.

You might use this wizard to add a schedule to the initial configuration set up with the Quick Recovery Configuration Wizard. For example, you configured a daily snapshot for Quick Recovery use and now want to add a weekly snapshot on a different disk for backup use.

Note:

Adding a snapshot schedule using the VSS Snapshot Scheduler will not update the template settings created with the Quick Recovery Configuration Wizard. If you want to keep the template settings up to date, you should instead run the Quick Recovery Configuration Wizard to modify the schedule.
