Export schedules

Exports that are initiated by a schedule are added to the queue at the time the scheduler runs (every 10 minutes). The export will be processed when the next available slot in the queue becomes available after the scheduler has added the export to the queue.

For example, setting up a schedule to initiate an export every Monday at 01:00 will add the export to the queue when the scheduler runs at 01:00 but the export won't be processed until the next run of the queue at 01:10 or later if there are exports ahead of it already in the queue.

tip

Files and associated logs for exports that were run via a schedule will be retained after the schedule has been deleted.
