In the Sybase and Oracle and SQL world, the backups are done as essentially
a user initiated backup, thus the backup-policy.

My guess is that weekly and daily are automatic policies.  These are what
are used to schedule the job and execute the backup script in your file
list.

Now if you take that backup script that you execute and add some logic,
like, if Sunday then BPBACKUP_SCHED=backup-policy-Weekly else
BPBACKUP_SCHED=backup-policy-Daily.

Where backup-policy-Daily and backup-policy-Weekly are backup-policy type
schedules, and have the retention you want.

Hope that helps,

Bob

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Sybase backups


I have a sybase class setup

with three schedules
1. backup policy
2. weekly 
3. daily

All three schedules have different retention levels

now whenever i kick of a weekly backup it runs two schedules
the weekly then the backup policy..

now it for some reason always uses the retention level from the 
backup policy..

the same thing when a daily backup is kicked off.

How do i change this to use the retention levels from the
weekly or daily schedule
