Full last day of month

I want to set a schedule for full backups on the last day every month. If I use the override" full last day every month" with skip for each day, it sets 30th of themonth as full even if the month has 31 days.

Please suggest an alternative.

Strange, I don't understand when they do so much effort developing an application why they leave the good things for RFE's and future releases.

I really don't see any other option, you'll have to go month by month and set full (override) in the last day for each one. At least everyone I know who had such need, took this way :(

To me that sounds as bug - I would opened up this with support.

Not really a bug. It's more of a known limitation. Have faced the same situation at various sites and other than setting overrides there is no way out that I know of.

Use nsradmin to do this.

# nsradmin

nsradmin>create name:Full Last Day Of Month;type:NSR schedule;period: Month
type: NSR schedule;
name: Full Last Day Of Month;
period: Month;
Create? y
created resource id 0.112.115.123.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.73.79.215.25.172.17.100.95(1)
nsradmin>update action: s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s ;


(((( Comment: the number of "s" should be 31. )))))

update override:full last day every month
override: full last day every month;
Update? y
updated resource id 0.112.115.123.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.73.79.215.25.172.17.100.95(5)
nsradmin> quit

#

------------

Now see the schedule in NMC. It shows correctly

I use following. It works perfectly fine for all the months but once in 4 year that is for February in a leap year.

Create schedule with everything in skip and then add following override:
full 01/31
full 02/28
full 03/31
full 04/30
full 05/31
full 06/30
full 07/31
full 08/31
full 09/30
full 10/31
full 11/30
full 12/31

This perfectly works including the leap year but it is only until 2036, hope that is good enough for now. If not, just add two lines for another 4 years.

Create a schedule with all skip and copy the following and paste it under overwrite section.

skip 2/28/2016

full 2/29/2016

skip 2/28/2020

full 2/29/2020

skip 2/28/2024

full 2/29/2024

skip 2/28/2028

full 2/29/2028

skip 2/28/2032

full 2/29/2032

skip 2/28/2036

full 2/29/2036

full 01/31

full 02/28

full 03/31

full 04/30

full 05/31

full 06/30

full 07/31

full 08/31

full 09/30

full 10/31

full 11/30

full 12/31
