Hi Kern,

Thank you a lot. I misunderstood another post. This way, when the 1st day of month is a saturday, bacula will run the weekly cycle.

I prefer this situation:

Run = Level=Full Pool=Weekly 2nd-5th saturday at 2:30

Run = Level=Full Pool=Monthly 1st saturday at 2:30

This way we're sure about monthly backups (always first saturdays). The other way, when 1st day of month is a saturday, you will not have a monthly backup that month.

Regards,

Ana

Hello,

Oops ...

When I look at the schedule that was produced, it does not correspond to what I wanted to show.  The status schedule was actually made with:

  Run = level=Full sun-fri on 3,5 at 2:30

which made reading the output of "show schedule" easier to read.  The real "status schedule" that I should have attached for the following statement:

  Run = level=Full sun-fri on 1 at 2:30

is:

*status schedule days=500

which looks a lot more like what Fábio wanted.

Hi Fabio,

I'm quite sure about a Kern's post here where he said that there is a "not" keyword for schedules. Have you tried something like the bellow?

I think I was referring to a not operator such as !  However, I must have been confused with the ! in the Messages destination list.  Bottom line: I don't think there is a not operator, and the "not" in your schedule below isn't likely to work.  However, in including only the days/dates you want, you can effectively exclude certain combinations.

The following should accomplish what you want:

Schedule {
   ...
   Run = level=Full sun-fri on 1 at 2:30
   ...
}

Although I cannot guarantee it, this schedule should run jobs only on Sunday through Friday (i.e. not Saturday) and on the first day of the month.

Try the command:

status schedule days=500

I get:

*status schedule days=500

Scheduled Jobs:
Level          Type     Pri  Scheduled          Job Name           Schedule

Hi guys,

I've defined the schedule with a weekly and monthly cycle. The weekly
cycle runs a Full backup on saturdays and the monthly cycle run a full
backup every 1st day of month.

Are there any way to tells Bacula to do NOT run the full backup of
monthly cycle if the 1st day of the month is a saturday. If so, it would
run the monthly full backup on sunday, the 2nd day of the month...

Fabio
