5.A full discussion of the options on the Edit Trigger dialog is beyond the scope of this document.  However, you can use the settings on this dialog to change the frequency of the task (daily, weekly or monthly) as well as the time of day when it will be performed.  Advanced settings provide further refinement (but for most cases should all be left disabled).  The last setting at the bottom of the dialog, Enabled, should remain checked.  If it is unchecked, the task will be disabled and backups will not be performed.
