Re: Scheduling a client backup to NOT occur 1 day a month - how-to recommendations needed
There maybe better way out there, but how about this solution If "Scheduled Task" is on NT, then this should work. Simply created two batch files, called stop_adsm.bat, and start_adsm.bat with client's schedule name. C:\>type stop_adsm.bat net stop "TSM Schedule Name" C:\>type start_adsm.bat net start "TSM Schedule Name" Goto "Scheduled Task" Create two scheduled tasks. one for stop_adsm.bat and other for start_adsm.bat You can setup once a month to stop and start.

Re: Scheduling a client backup to NOT occur 1 day a month - how-to recommendations needed
Kent, We have a weird situation also.. We have a NT client, who does a full backup every week and daily(s) the other 6. We wrote a batch job to kill the daily schedule and enable the weekly schedule (Sat).. And then on Sunday we wrote a batch job to disable the weekly and enable the daily. I'm sure you could use the same philosophy. .. Forgive my ignorance, I have trouble with NT ... I'm guessing there is any easier way to get around this - it works... Gabriel C.

Re: Scheduling a client backup to NOT occur 1 day a month - how-to recommendations needed
I'd suggest just stopping the TSM scheduler at the start of this job, then starting it again after the job is done. The NT command NET STOP "TSM SCHEDULERNAME" is used to stop the scheduler service, "NET START "TSM SCHEDULERNAME"" will bring it back up. NT trick, not TSM trick. Just make sure you stop the scheduler before the backup starts, and you're all set. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Today is the tomorrow of yesterday.
Re: Scheduling a client backup to NOT occur 1 day a month - how-to recommendations needed
The most effective way to not run a schedule on a certain recurring day is to build an admin schedule which runs a TSM script - The name of your scheduled backup will be different than mine which in this case is "powkarpr2": tsm: AFCOPS2>q sched updatemontly type=a f=d Schedule Name: UPDATEMONTHLY Description: Command: run updatemonthly Priority: 4 Start Date/Time: 03/31/01 10:00:00 Duration: 1 Hour(s) Period: 4 Week(s) Day of Week: Saturday Expiration: Active?: Yes Last Update by (administrator): GEORGE Last Update Date/Time: 03/23/01 13:17:34 Managing profile: It will run the TSM script "updatemontly" tsm: AFCOPS2>q script updatemontly f=d Name: UPDATEMONTLY Line Number: 1 Command: upd sched satdomain powkarpr2 startd=+1 Last Update by (administrator): GEORGE Last Update Date/Time: 03/23/01 13:12:13 George Lesho AFC Enterprises Kent Monthei cc: (bcc: George Lesho/Partners/AFC) Sent by: Subject: Scheduling a client backup to NOT "ADSM: Dist occur 1 day a month - how-to Stor Manager" recommendations needed <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> 03/05/02 02:37 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" We have an NT client that's associated with a Solaris TSM Server's daily backup schedule.

Put that NT client in a schedule all by itself... (call it nt_special ) then set an administrative command schedule to run at 00:01 on the 3rd of each month that does an update of the nt_special schedule to set its startd=+1 should work, I've used admin schedules to alter client schedules before... generally just one time schedules, never a repeating one...
