I don't know that that is possible, at least through 7.2 (not sure about
7.3.x).
My copy of nsr_schedule has this section....
# man nsr_schedule
[snip]
Recurring
date is of the form `[ number ] weekday every [ number
] period'. number can be a number (1, 2, 3, etc.) or an
ordinal (first, second, third, etc.), and it is
optional. weekday must be one of "monday," "tuesday,"
"wednesday," "thursday," "friday," "saturday," "sun-
day." The use of "last" for number is not supported
(for example, "last friday" cannot be used to refer to
the last Friday of the month). period must be one of
"week," "month," "quarter," or "year." Action/date
pairs are separated by commas (`,').
[...]
The bit about last not being supported is the kicker for you, I imagine.
I've kluged around this in the past with a perl script that calculated
the last day of the month and then appended that date to the override
section of the schedule. I shoved in the dates for the next 7 years.
I know one person that had the bandwidth to push his backups forward
until after midnight so that he could just backup on the first.
Admittedly, many of us can't delay backups that long... Also, that only
works for last day of the month. That doesn't do any good for say, last
Friday of the month.
