Skip a client!

[LeDam]

How can i skip a client from a group for one backup?? Can somebody help me??

One possible solution is to remove that specific client from the group.
Or you can create a group with autostart disabled and make the client a member of that group.

Yes i know... thank you..
There isn't a other solution???

No, not as far as I know. Let´s say that this is the easiest way to skip the backup of a single client.

Cheep dirty way that will show up as a failure in you report is to stop the clients services for networker..

We have done that once in awhile and it skips the client because you cannot communicate with it..

I can be done if you want to write some scripts.

You could create a script that will change the schedule the client uses to a skip. This would require that you change this back or the next backup.

Not so clean but possible.

Have you considered building a special schedule for this client? For example, you can run Sun, Mon, Tue, skip Wed and continue to backup Thu and Sat.
Note: when you skip a day or days, NetWorker will still schedule your client for backup, but will skip all save sets as soon as it detects the skipped day.

example:
--- Successful Save Sets ---
