File System Scan Configuration Folder

These settings determine when and how often the CFSA scans the local hard disk. They specify the time and day when the full scan begins, plus the number of days between each scan.

Start Time

This is specified as ‘minutes after midnight’, so enter 60 to specify a 1am start time.

Start Day

This can be any day of the week or ‘Next’. This specifies when the scan first runs; when it next runs depends on the Frequency. If you choose Next, the scan starts at the next occurrence of the Start Time; this could be later today or tomorrow.

Frequency (days)

This specifies how often the scan runs. For example, to run a scan every Sunday, set the Start Date to Sunday and the Frequency to 7.

To set up daily file scans

1. Set the Start Time as required.
2. Set the Start Day to ‘Next’ and the Frequency to 1.

   Note: Do not set the Start Day to a specific day of the week; if the client machine is restarted, the next scan will not run until the next occurrence of the Start Day.
