Schedule one time directories backup possible?

[TaSMania]

Outside of daily backup of the node at 6PM. Over sea client would like us(US base) to backup certain directories at 2 a.m. Hate to wake up just for that. I can schedule it to run again but that will take long time.

Is it possible to set it up? I don't see anywhere on the reference guide under DEFINE or BACKUP.

If you only want it to run once and then be gone, use DEFINE CLIENTACTION (basically a 1 time schedule).
Action=incremental
object=/path/directory/ or object=X:\path\directory\

HELP DEFINE CLIENTACTION for syntax

Where do the time come in play. I want to let it run at 2am.

 

[marclant]

Oh sorry, when you define a clientaction, it runs now. You will need to define a schedule: action=incremental object={your directory} starttime=hh:mm expiration={after the start date} so that it doesn't run again. And you will need to associate the node with that schedule.

how do I code multi directories for objects?
D:\FileStore\FileStore01\Input001
D:\FileStore\FileStore01\Input002
D:\FileStore\FileStore01\Input003


1. def sch TSM one_time action=incremental object=D:\FileStore\FileStore01\Input001 startt=18:30 expiration=05/11/2017

like this:
To specify C:\FILE 2, D:\GIF FILES, and E:\MY TEST FILE, enter: OBJECTS='"C:\FILE 2" "D:\GIF FILES" "E:\MY TEST FILE"'
