Timothy,
You could create a new schedule in the same policy. Name the policy
Monthly and set the frequency to every four weeks, with an effective date of
the first Saturday you want the job to start. When it and the weekly come
due at the same time, only the monthly will start, because it is the one
most overdue. The retention period for this schedule would also change from
one month to six months. This keeps you from trying to track old tapes and
then importing them as necessary. Let NBU work for you, not the other way
around.
Thanks,

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Monthly backups
Hi Veritas Users,
I am running Netbackup 3.4.1 on Solaris 8. At the moment, we have a weekly
backup that we keep for one month but we would like to take the last backup
of the month and save it for six months. Is there any way to use the same
weekly schedule but simply not reuse the tape and reimport them into the
catalog if I need to use it?
Ideally I am looking for a very simple method that does not require the
operator to do anything different!
Thanks,
Timothy.
