Re: [Veritas-bu] Quarterly Backups and Calendar Schedule

Frankly, I would rethink your requirements - it's likely going to cause you problems in the future. What are your recovery options if the backup fails? If the backup only runs on the last Friday of the quarter, is it okay to skip this quarter completely and reschedule the job for the next quarter? If not, then your application has to be capable of being backed up at other times anyway.
In general, I've found that the more you try and force NetBackup to do things your way, the worse off you are. Just use frequency based scheduling and let it figure it out for itself. Yes, it may mean that it runs on a Monday instead of a Friday, but it *will* recover if a job fails for whatever reason. And I'll bet your business users probably say that the application must have a 24x7 uptime anyway so it should not really matter when the backups run...
Pick a frequency of how often you want the jobs to run and pick a window that makes sense and then let NetBackup take it from there.

Does anyone know of an easier way to configure a Quarterly backup
schedule to run on the last Friday of the Quarter other than going in
and manually selecting those 4 dates in the year for each policy? I can
do last Friday of the month but not last Friday of the Quarter. Just
wondering if there was an easier way.
