Re: [Veritas-bu] Quarterly Backups and Calendar Schedule

We did something similar on a Solaris master I used to
manage - we had a script that changed the retention of the "monthly full" (last
Friday of the month) to 7 years from 1 year if the month was = march, june,
sept, dec etc... that worked ok too.

Rather than relying on
NetBackup’s schedule you might want to use cron if UNIX/Linux. That is you
set the policy to allow the backup on Friday’s but not actually schedule it in
policy. You could then write a script that would determine whether it was
a “quarterly Friday” and do regular (weekly/monthly) every day but that and do
quarterly on “quarterly Friday”.

Well,
it sounded good. You can’t use “last Friday” (calendar based) with
Frequency. You can have Calendar based or Frequency based but not
both.

I'd think that last
Friday of the month with an 89 or so day frequency would do it...if that can be
configured, that is.

[Veritas-bu] Quarterly
Backups and Calendar Schedule |

Does anyone know of an
easier way to configure a Quarterly backup schedule to run on the last Friday of the Quarter other than
going in and manually selecting
those 4 dates in the year for each policy? I can do last Friday of the month but not last Friday of the
Quarter. Just wondering if
there was an easier way.
Thanks, Randy
