actually, it's kind of weird but it chooses the one with the largest
frequency, not highest retention, when more than one is due. i guess if
you wanted the monthly to have the same retention as the weekly, but go to
a different pool of tapes for sending off-site or something, doing it by
largest frequency instead of highest retention allows you to do this.
if you don't need the monthly to always be first day, last day, first
friday, last friday or something like that, then frequency scheduling the
way Dave states works great. and by the way, there all in the same
policy. it won't work the same if you create a separate policy for
monthly.
if you want to build in a little self-healing and also get the schedule to
run even if a manual was launched earlier in the week, you could modify it
a little to do something like this...
weekly on fri night and sat night with freq set to 2 or 3 days. monthly
also set to fri and sat, same time window, with freq set to 23 or 24 days
and so on...
this allows it to run fri and then retry sat if it fails on fri. with the
shorter frequency, it makes it run a full on fri even if someone manually
launched a full on, for example, tuesday (instead of going 10 days now in
this example between fulls). it also "shifts" the backup back to fri on
the following week after it fails on a fri and then runs ok on sat,
instead of now running every sat.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Scheduling?
I just set up weekly, monthly and quarterly backups and base them on
weeks.
I have the weekly run on Saturday night and the frequency to be 1 week
The monthly to run on Saturday night and to have frequency 4 weeks
Quarterly to run sat night and to have frequency 16 weeks.
As the retentions are different I.e bigger on the less frequent backups,
when it comes to backup time netbackup will run the one with highest
retention.
Works fine for me :)
