We just have the frequency set to One Month, with the window set to run on
Friday (when our full backups occur) and manually change the frequency to
one day the week of the monthly backup. Of course you have to remember to
change it back to One Month when they are done! It's manual intervention,
but it works for us, until 4.5.
I do like that 27day frequency though.

You can also set the frequency to one day less than the shortest month,
which would be 27, then put a backup window for every day of the week.
Its less predictable _when_ the backup occurs, but its using the NBU
scheduler.

What we do is setup monthly and yearly schedules, with the same time as
the regular full but longer retention periods, as user backups(not
recognized by the scheduler). At the first of the month have a script
run
via crontab change these schedules to full backups and then back to
user
backups on the 8th of the month. The scheduler will take the backup
with
the longer retention period.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] What is the BEST WAY to schedule a
monthly backup (without
4.5)
I have a requirement to run a month end backup in the first week of
the
month. The data isn't there prior to that week, and after that week
it
disappears. If I wanted to schedule the job with NetBackup and not
simply
run a manual job from "cron", what would be the best way to do that?
I'm toying with the idea of scheduling it every 730 hours (that's 365
days
x 24 hrs/day / 12 months) and just opening up the schedule 24/7 so when
it
gets to the 730'th hour, off it goes.
Anyone else come up with a better way? A more clever plan?
