We did something similar on a Solaris master I used to manage - we
had a script that changed the retention of the "monthly full" (last
Friday of the month) to 7 years from 1 year if the month was = march, june,
sept, dec etc... that worked ok too.

Rather than relying on NetBackup’s schedule you might want to use
cron if UNIX/Linux. That is you set the policy to allow the backup on
Friday’s but not actually schedule it in policy. You could then write a
script that would determine whether it was a “quarterly Friday” and do regular
(weekly/monthly) every day but that and do quarterly on “quarterly Friday”.

Well, it sounded good. You can’t use “last Friday”
(calendar based) with Frequency. You can have Calendar based or Frequency
based but not both.

I'd think that
last Friday of the month with an 89 or so day frequency would do it...if that
can be configured, that is.

Quarterly Backups and Calendar Schedule
|
|
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.
Thanks,
Randy
