RE: [Veritas-bu] 'Frequency' schedule type

[Wilkinson, Tim]

Bob,   I've got this from the VERITAS Netbackup 6.0 Administration course manual :   "Frequency Select the frequency radio button to enable administrators to specify how much time must elapse between the successful completion of a scheduled task and the next attempt at the task"   Cheers,   Tim From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Stump Sent: Thursday, 18 May 2006 10:28 PM To: Wilkinson, Tim; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu; Tristan Ball Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] 'Frequency' schedule type "frequency is measured from when the backup ends"   Will someone please provide me the documentation that states this?

We have a couple of polices that do a full backup weekly, with the frequency set to 1 week. However, the jobs didn't run on the weekend; there were no errors, they just didn't run. The only reason I can think of this happening is the job falling outside of the start window. From what I've read, the frequency is the minimum amount of tim that must pass before the next schedule runs, which means that we should probably set the weekly jobs to having a frequency of 6 days to avoid it falling outside the start window. Would this be correct?   Cheers, --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Wilkinson I.T.
