Thanks Andy. Unfortunately I am still sitting on TSM 5.1/5.2. The customer needs the backup for weekday not for weekend. But for Monday I can only be allowed to start backup at 2:00am on Tuesday, so does Friday, I do it on Saturday 2:00am.
Maybe there is a workaround, but haven't gotten a change to try it. 1. Create a regular incremental backup schedule on weekday start at 23:59 2. On the client, customize the "preschedulecmd" to let the schedule to sleep 2 hours. It is on Unix Client, so just "sleep 7200" I will let you guys know my test.
