Frequency Schedule Type

Using the Frequency schedule type, administrators specify how much time must elapse between the successful completion of a scheduled task and the next attempt at the task.

For example, automatic backups for clients using this schedule: Assume that a schedule is set up for a full backup with a frequency of one week. If NetBackup successfully completes a full backup for all clients on Monday, it does not attempt another backup for this schedule until the following Monday.

If the schedule is a relocation schedule, created as part of configuring a disk staging storage unit, a frequency-based schedule determines how often images are swept from the disk staging storage unit to the final destination storage unit.

To set the frequency, click in the Frequency field and type a number or select a value from the drop-down list. Select a Frequency of hours, days, or weeks.
