- Runs the job multiple times per day at a set interval (e.g., every 2 hours).

How periodic scheduling works:
- Intervals start from 12:00 AM each day.
- If only certain hours are allowed, the first run begins when the allowed window starts, then follows the interval.
- Set how many retry attempts the job should make and the delay between attempts.
- Enable Terminate job if it exceeds allowed backup window to avoid long-running jobs.
- Click Configure backup window to set allowed and prohibited hours.
- If the job runs past the window, it will automatically stop.
This completes the setup of your Microsoft 365 backup job.
