Nightly jobs can be configured at the Core level or at the machine level. When nightly jobs are set at the Core level, the changes are applied to all relevant machines protected by that Core. Changes made to the nightly jobs at the machine level supersede the changes made at the Core level, and apply only to the machines specified.
For a list of all nightly jobs, including descriptions and the scope available for each, see the topic Understanding nightly jobs.
Complete the steps in the following procedure to make changes to the nightly jobs for a single protected machine.
