Hi,
I am using Netbackup 5.1 MP1 with a Solaris 9 master server and LTO-2 tape drives. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my scheduling since I have weekly and bi-weekly jobs. For the weekly jobs, I have set up frequency based scheduling which is very reliable. For the bi-weekly, I set it up for the 1st and 3rd Friday for every month. However, I have heard and experienced that some of the calendar scheduling is buggy (particularly when the backup window spans past midnight at which point it will run another instance of the job, but has this been fixed in 5.1?). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. A frequency based bi-weekly schedule gets pretty messy from my experience. Also, if you could provide any of your experiences with the two schedules, that would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Philip
