Hi, If you don't get any luck to get a script, please make use of the Exclude Dates which works like a wonder, I've got exactly the same schedules whereby at the end of March I'm running a yearly backup instead of a monthly. The monthly schedule is excluded at the end of March and the yearly

My understanding with calendar based backups is that only one schedule can run within a day. This has been verified with early releases of 6.5. Now in 7.1 I have seen two calendar schedules run on the same day but not at the same time. The second to run basically waited the first one to finish.

What you can do now, is to find these monthly backup images and change the retention to the yearly retention. From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Gregory Demilde Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 11:31 AM To: Peter Mosopa Cc:

To get around this (multiple calendar backups are weighted the same in the nbpem scheduler) I have set all of my less frequent backups to trigger 10 minutes earlier. For example: normal daily backup is 10pm-2am (frequency based 8 hours) monthly backup 10pm-2am (calendar, last day of the month)
