Schedule - Weekly & Monthly
What strategy do people use to perform weekly and monthly backups? Under the job setup, I can see you can choose 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and Last for a particular day. I'd like to have my weekly backup every week except for the last week, which should be montly. Some months have more than 5 weeks for a certain day so I would have to manually select 1 - 4 or 1-3, and then choose Last for the monthly. Before I do this for an entire year, I thought I'd ask if there is a better way.
Thanks,
Eric
Hi eric,
Best way to accomplish this is through using a policy. What this is going to do is automatically set up rules depending on what you want to run on which days (Daily/Weekly/Monthly).
The link below is to an outside website, but it is the best I could find...
