Creating Schedules Question

[italianjoe69]

Basically I have 2 groups that I would like to alternate the Sat's that they run. I need to create 2 schedules to do a full every other Sat. These 2 schedules need to be opposite of each other. How can I create these without having to manually hit each Sat of each month? Is it possible?

Looking at the properties for the schedule I tried typing in 'full every other sat every month' in the overrides box but it didn't like it.

So far ...

For one schedule I have:
full second sat every month
full fourth sat every month

For the other I have:
full first sat every month
full third sat every month
full fifth sat every month

This works for a while, but I do run into 2 x 2 weeks that the same schedule gets skipped and 2 x 2 weeks where the same schedule runs a full.

TIA

Looks like a bug.
Try this workarround :
Schedule A saturdays full

Overrideull fourth
Skip first saturday every month
Skip third,Sikp fifth.


Scheduke B saturdays skip

Overrides:
Full second saturday every month
Full fourth saturday every month

Now such a bug can occur but to my opinion you should have exactly one full Backup every saturday, maybe of the wrong group.
