    he RFE states the following"replication between systems, and store copies for months and years for compliance requirement."

    Can you be more specific as to what you would be scheduling on a monthly or yearly basis. I could maybe see something being scheduled monthly. But I'm not sure exactly what you'd be scheduling a year out. Most yearly cycles I've seen at customers involve a lot of planning and coordination that would not work with a Scheduled Task.

    If this is for Safeguarded Copy, Scheduled Tasks do not cover retention for sessions. So you could create backups at a weekly interval but still keep the data for the time of the retention.
