-Backup jobs can be scheduled so that they are executed automatically

-Configuration of scheduled backups is done at the Datacenter level in

-These jobs use the xref:chapter_calendar_events[calendar events] for

-Since scheduled backups miss their execution when the host was offline or the
-pvescheduler was disabled during the scheduled time, it is possible to configure
-the behaviour for catching up. By enabling the `Repeat missed` option
-(`repeat-missed` in the config), you can tell the scheduler that it should run
-missed jobs as soon as possible.

 There are a few settings for tuning backup performance not exposed in the UI.
 The most notable is `bwlimit` for limiting IO bandwidth. The amount of threads
 used for the compressor can be controlled with the `pigz` (replacing `gzip`),
