Edit a plan/task |

Clone a backup plan |
Click The clone of the original backup plan will be created with default name "Clone of <original_plan_name>". The cloned plan will be disabled immediately after cloning, so that it does not run concurrently with the original plan. You can edit the cloned plan settings before enabling it. |
Enable a plan |
