HP B6960-90078 manual Skipping Backups During Holidays, Configuring Backup Options When Scheduling

Backup

Scheduling Unattended Backups

To disable a backup schedule, select the Disable Schedule option in the Schedule property page. The backup will not be performed until you deselect this option.

Disabling backup schedules does not influence currently running backup sessions.

Skipping Backups During Holidays

By default, Data Protector runs backups on holidays.

If you do not wish to run your backups on holidays, set the Holidays option to ON in the Schedule page of the Backup wizard. You can identify holidays from the Holidays file or as red dates on the Schedule Calendar.

To set different holidays, edit the Holidays file, located in the following directory:

•on UNIX: /etc/opt/omni/Holidays

•on Windows: <Data_Protector_home>\Config\Holidays

How you configure your scheduling policies strongly influences the effectiveness and performance of your backup. For example, if the date January 1 is registered as a holiday, Data Protector will not back up on that date. If you have scheduled a full backup for January 1st and an incremental for January 2nd, Data Protector will skip running the full backup on January 1st but will run the incremental backup scheduled for January 2nd. The incremental backup will be based on the last full backup.

	Configuring Backup Options When Scheduling
	Backups
	When scheduling a backup, you can set further options. These options
	are only valid for scheduled backups and not for those started
	interactively. Data protection that is specified in the Schedule Backup
	dialog overrides protection settings anywhere else in the backup
	specification.
How to Set	You can set schedule backup options when creating a new backup
Schedule Backup	specification, or when modifying an existing one. For detailed steps, refer
Options	to the online Help index keyword “setting schedule backup options”.
