We use a similar set up, except
we do the monthly on the first weekend of the month. An example of one of
our policies is...
Daily - Mon – Thursday
Weekly – Every Friday
EXCEPT for the first Friday of the month
Monthly – First Friday of
the month
I also have “retries
allowed after runday” for the Monthly so that if something happens to
cause it to fail on the first Friday of the month, the next Friday it will run
a Monthly backup.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backup Schedules
Hi
Gurus,
Here
is my scenario:
Daily
Backups (cinc) should run Monday – Friday (18:00 – 06:00 per day)
Weekly
Backups (full) should run every weekend (Sat 06:00 – Monday 06:00) except
for the last Weekend.
Monthly
backups (full) should run only on the last weekend of the month.
We
are using Netbackup scheduler and used to painfully select and deselect dates
based on the schedules that they should run for the Weekly/Monthly backups so
as to not duplicate/conflict schedules.
Is
there a more streamlined way of achieving this?
I
have read through the sysadmin guides and they mention that frequency takes
precedence when multiple schedules are configured over the same timeframe,
however calendar based scheduling does not use frequency.
Here
is my idea:
All
backups should be based on calendar schedule:
Dailys
– Mon,Tues,Wed,Thurs,Fri.
Weeklys
– Sat (All)
Monthlys
– Sat (Last)
I
am hoping that due to the inherent longer frequency in a monthly job (between
runs) that it would take precedence over the weekly on the last Saturday.
Your
views?
Regards,
Sumeeth
