As any other Handy Backup tools, an ESXi backup plugin will work on schedule, including setting up an exact time to start, a repeating period and/or a triggering system event to start an ESXi backup VM task (such as user logon/logoff or plugging an USB storage to a server).

Security Measures and Additional ESXi Backup Solutions

With Handy Backup, you will have all the options to securely backup ESXi server data: partial backup (incremental, differential and mixed), taking some versions of the same virtual machine backup set, encryption, compression, sending data via secured FTP protocols, auto-run other software and so on.
