No problems in this post. I am just sharing a solution you may be looking for in the future J Scenario: I need to run a backup every hour on the hour and the backup lasts for about 15 minutes. I've created the policy and schedule and set the frequency to 1 hour. The first backup runs on the hour, but the next schedule occurs one hour after the previous job ends and not from the original start time. e.g. Job starts at 9:00, ends at 9:15, next job starts at 9:15 which is NOT on the hour. See the dilemma? Well, most of you already understand the concept of frequency creep. Obviously I needed to set a frequency that is less than 1 hour but, NetBackup has 1 hour as the shortest frequency interval for a schedule. My solution was to use the command /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplschedrep with the modification of *freq 1800. That set the frequency to 30 minutes (60 * 30) Funny thing is that the schedule still shows 1 hour frequency in the GUI. But thatÂ’s OK! The frequency of 30 minutes works great! No problems in this post. I am just sharing a solution you may be looking for in the future J
