Hi!

About "1st sat is always 1 day after the 1st friday". It´s not always true. You will have a 1st saturday before the 1st fridat happening on february, 2014.

Regards,
Ana

I export the Offsite media on Friday morning from the library and move it to another location. Because there is no monthly backup in the library I also schedule a job a day after the offsite backup in case I need to recover from a montly backup immediately. 1st sat is always 1 day after the 1st friday, or am i wrong?

You are right that I have two full backups on sunday, it is a mistake. I should remove daily backup on sundays.

Hi,

I read the docs but couldn't find any info. Is it possible to exclude
from schedule? My schedule is as follows:

Schedule {
    Name = "MultipleRUN"
    Run = Level=Full Pool=Daily mon-sun at 3:17
    Run = Level=Full Pool=Weekly sun at 9:05
    Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Weekly mon-sat at 19:05
    Run = Level=Full Pool=Monthly 1st sat at 2:05
    Run = Level=Full Pool=Offsite 1st fri at 2:05
}
This schedule looks strange to me, because incremental jobs are always
relative to the last full job, but you are sending them all to the Weekly
pool.  On Monday it will be relative to the Pool=Daily full and on the 1st
Friday it will be relative to the Pool=Offsite full.

I thought incrementals were relative to the last backup job and 
differentials relative to the last full backup. He does a full on Sunday 
to the weekly pool and incrementals the rest of the week. Each 
incremental should have just the day's changes.

What I find strange is that he's running the Offsite a day before the 
Monthly while the Weekly full is 31 hours after the Monthly. Given that 
the month doesn't always start on the same day of the week, the various 
backups could be done on different weeks (e.g. the first Saturday may be 
before or after the first Sunday).

Another strange thing is that he's running both full and incremental 
backups each day, with two full backups on Sunday. I don't understand 
why anyone would do this.
