Hello,
Thank you for all your answers.
Finally, I did something similar to your ideas.
Now I have the "NORMAL-Backup" group and the "HISTORY-Backup" group. The
normal backup group is scheduled every day for level backup and the weekend
for full backup.
I now only have 1 instance of every client. When I want to do the history
backup (2 times a year) I add to this group the necessary clients. All its
savesets are OK because they are the client definitions used every day.
Then, I use the command line of savegrp:
savegrp -l full -y "1 year" -w "1 year" -G "HISTORY-Backup"
for running the HISTORY backup with the new retention/browse policy.
But, if I want to schedule this backup for a concrete day (not a week or
month schedule, I want to execute it for example next sunday), what must I
do? I can't use an schedule because I only want this backup run only one
conrete day, so using Windows AT command will work?
Thank you very much.
