Use the New Schedule page to create a new schedule for use in a backup configuration. The schedule can specify a single time, such as “On January 1, 2012 at 8:00:00”, or a recurring time, such as “On the first and sixteenth of every month at 12:00:00”.
The New Schedule page contains the following options:
The name of the schedule. This name must be unique across all schedules in the domain.
The days on which backups are to occur. The two options are combined to define days as follows:
Neither option restricts days, so backups occur every day.
The option set to All does not restrict days, so backups occur according to the restrictions specified by the other option. For example, if Days Of Week is set to All and Days Of Month is set to 1 and 16, backups occur on the first and the sixteenth of the month.
Both options restrict days, so both sets of restrictions are combined. For example, if Days Of Week is set to Mon and Days Of Month is set to 1 and 16, backups occur on every Monday and on the first and sixteenth of the month.
The months during which backups are to occur. The value All indicates that backups can occur during any month.
The years during which backups are to occur. Valid values are as follows:
A four-digit year.
A dash-separated range of four-digits years.
A comma-separated list of four-digit years, ranges, or a mixture of the two.
An asterisk (*) to indicate all years.
The time at which backups are to occur, using a 24–hour clock. Thus, an Hour value of 1 indicates 1 AM, and an Hour value of 13 indicates 1 PM.
These options accept the following types of values:
A number. For Hours, the numbers 0 through 23 are valid; for Minutes and Seconds, the numbers 0 through 59 are valid.
A dash-separated number range; for example: 0–11.
A comma-separated list of numbers, number ranges, or a mixture of the two; for example: 0–3,8–11,23.
An asterisk (*) to indicate all hours, minutes or seconds.
A repeating increment in the form start/interval. For example, the increment 0/5 indicates values starting at 0 (zero) and continuing every five thereafter (5, 10, 15 and so on) up to a maximum of 23 for Hours or 59 for Minutes or Seconds.
