# Execution Schedules

Backup Execution Schedules can be configured and managed in Library > Automation > Execute Scheduling. An execution schedule stores only the interval at which some execution should be run and they can apply to both backups and automation scripts. To create a new backup job with this schedule, navigate to Backups  >  Backups and click “+ADD”. In the final step of creating the backup job we are able to select any of our created execution schedules. The Default Backup Schedule set in Administration > Settings > Backups will be selected when creating a backup job and not specifying an execution schedule.
