Hi,

I'm afraid that you can only configure the schedule manually (if you want backups to be ran from NetWorker schedules), run the backups manually when required, or create a cron job/Windows task to run savgrp with the correct flags to run the backup for that client, I can't think of any other option right now.

Let's say OS of NW server is Windows, then you create a task to be ran every 3 months, and the task would be, for example:

savegrp -c client_name GROUP_NAME

Thank you.

Carlos.

Hi,

Create a schedule as mentioned here below.

(lets take for example schedule name as 'once in every quarter')

Right click on the schedule > Show Schedule as Calender > Click ok

Right click on the schedule > Properties

Override:

full first friday every quarter

Period:

Month

Action:

skip skip skip skip skip skip skip

skip skip skip skip skip skip skip

skip skip skip skip skip skip skip

skip skip skip skip skip skip skip

skip skip skip

Schedule shoule looks like this.

This should work.

Note:

Override can be customized.

Example:

full first friday every quarter - This will run full backup on first friday of every quarter.

incr last monday every quarter - This will run incremental on every last monday of the quarter.

Regards,

Prajith
