Reading over the Jamf documentation it’s not clear how to schedule MySQL backups using the Jamf pro server tool cli on windows when the DB is on its own server. I have Jamf server tools copied over to the DB server and I see you can set a schedule in the config file but that will not actually do anything since jamf-pro is not running on this server. It says you can use Schtasks to schedule this but what command do you put in the schedule task? jamf-pro database backup ?

If i do it this way should I have no schedule task in the config? Also what account does this need to run as?
