Hello Guru’s … We are struggling with this
scenario. We are a Netbackup 6.5.3.1 shop and recently discovered that using Frequency
Based Schedules that a Monthly Full backup and a Weekly Full backup for the
same client will run on the same weekend. What are we doing Wrong?? I know if
we used Calendar based Schedules for the Monthlys and excluded these dates from
the Weeklys it would solve the problem but surely there must be a better way.
Thanks in advance… You're not doing anything wrong - it's designed to work this way.
If you really want to avoid it, set a single window for the weekend, but then you could get into the opposite problem - if the weekly is due Saturday and the monthly on Sunday, you'll run the weekly on Saturday and skip the monthly completely.
If you used Calendar-based scheduling, you could also find yourself with some issues - for example, if you excluded the weekly from running and the monthly failed, you'd get nothing.
And nobody but you really knows the difference between a weekly and a monthly - do you leave one onsite and take the other offsite? If so, don't you actually want both to run? What if one went to a remote tape drive and the other to a loal de-dupe appliance?
