you have a few options, none of which are that practical:

1. Use an OS-scheduler (cron on UNIX, at on NT) to schedule the backup
(using bpbackup or bpclsched/bpclinfo if you want to get fancier)

2. Wait for NetBackup 4.1, when this feature has been promised

3. Set up a full schedule with a 30-day frequency, and live with the
fact that you'll get an "approximate" end of month backup. :-(

others?
