To each his own. Glad it's doing the job for you; my experience has been that it's useful when there's a need to match some date-oriented business process: backups on the last day of the month, for instance. _Very_ useful there. > different retentions per full backups, IE: Weekly, Monthly, > Quarterly, Yearly.

Well, five minutes setting up five frequency-based schedules gives me a configuration for that Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yeary and a daily differential thrown in for free--and it never has to be touched again. I don't have a system handy, but Name Frequency Retention Window diff 1 day 2 weeks daily 2100-0300 full 1 week 1 month Fr, Sa 2100-0300 full-monthly 1 month 3 months Fr, Sa 2100-0300 full-quarterly 3 months 1 year Fr, Sa 2100-0300 full-annual 1 year 3 years Fr, Sa 2100-0300 The Friday/Saturday on the fulls is only because many people freak at the idea of fulls running during the week--ideally, I'd have all schedules on all days. Piece o' cake. Every day there's not a full, there's a diff. Every weekend, whatever full is appropriate runs. Zero maintenance. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
