We need to provide a user account that has administrative rights to that location. Enter Administrator and the password and click OK.
On the Confirmation window click Finish.
The wizard will start Creating the backup schedule.
When done we will see that this server will start creating backups every day at 9:00 PM.
Click Close to close the wizard.
If we notice on the Windows Server Backup console we can see in the middle pane when the backups have been performed when they are scheduled to run, and a summary.
We can click the view details link to see the information.
So that is how you create a Schedule Backup with the Windows Server Backup console.
