Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Creating a backup schedule

1. In the Administration window, click Protection.
2. In the expanded left pane, select Schedules.
3. From the File menu, select New.
   The Create Schedule dialog box appears.
4. In the Name box, type a name for the schedule.
5. Under Select Schedule option, when Define is selected, from Period List, select Week or Month to control whether the schedule repeats on a weekly or monthly basis.
6. Optional, specify a description of the schedule in the Comment box.
7. Set the backup level for each day by right-clicking the day, selecting Set Level and then the backup level.
8. From the Activity type list, select Backup or VMware or Server Backup or Execute to associate the schedule to the appropriate actions. For details on activity type, refer to table 65.
9. Optional, set the override backup level for a day by right-clicking the day, selecting Override Level and then the backup level.

   For example, to prevent a full backup from running on a holiday, override the schedule so that the full backup runs on the day before or the day after the holiday. An asterisk (*) next to a backup level indicates that an override has been set for that day.

   NOTE:If you override backup levels by using the nsradmin command line program, you can also specify relative date values such as full first friday every 2 week. The nsr_schedule UNIX man page and the NetWorker Command Reference Guide provides detailed information about overriding backup levels.
