Documents Backup Frequency and Automatically Added Checks

Standalone Cove Data Protection (Cove) has replaced Backup and Recovery. If Backup and Recovery is enabled for your devices, the options shown here are still available.

If Backup and Recovery options do not appear in N-sight RMM, use Cove instead.

To start a 30-day free trial of Cove:

  1. Open the app switcher in the Product Bar.
  2. Select Cove Data Protection (Cove).

An initial backup runs after the installation, then twice per day after that when the device is online:

  • Overnight: between 9pm and 6am
  • During lunch: between 12pm and 2pm

If a backup session is missed due to the device being offline, etc. then the backup will run as soon as possible once the device is back online.

Two Backup & Recovery Checks are automatically added to the device as part of the Backup & Recovery installation process.

  • Windows Service Check - Backup Service Controller (24x7) monitors the Backup Service Controller service
  • Backup Check - Backup & Recovery (Daily Safety Check) reports on the backup sessions

You cannot delete these Checks from the Dashboard, they are only removed when you uninstall Backup & Recovery

In addition to the default Checks, for Windows you can also add a Daily Safety Backup & Recovery Selected Size Check to monitor the backup size of the selected plugins (data sources) based on completed sessions.
