In the schedule itself there is a “frequency” definition.   I haven’t done it but I assume if you allow it to run all day and set the frequency to 4 hours it would do multiple backups.

 

Note that the 4 hours would be from the previous backup so if exact time is important you might want to set up a user backup run from cron instead of relying on the schedule itself.   (i.e. If your first backup normally runs at 1 PM but has issues and doesn’t run until 2 PM the next one would run at 6 PM rather than 5 PM and each subsequent backup would run 4 hours later.)

I’m currently running NetBackup 7.6.0.1 on Redhat Linux.   Is there a way schedule a backup schedule to run multiple times a day or do I have to create multiple schedules with different start time windows?

Thanks in advance..
