    OK, got it ...

    Example, this creats a schedule for schedule 'test' in policy 'womble_basic_disk'.

    bpplschedwin womble_basic_disk test  -2 1800 3600 -M womble

    -2 means Tuesday  (0 is Sun, 1 is Mon etc ...)

    1800 means open 1800 sec  after midnight

    3600 is close 3600sec after midnight

    So I could run this ...

     bpplschedwin womble_basic_disk test  -0 0 0 -1 0 0 -2 1800 3600 -3 0 0 -4 0 0 -5 0 0 -6 0 0 -M womble

    No windows any day apart from Tues.

    Thats by default pulls schedule type FULL from Monday to Sunday, If you are running incremental from Monday to thursday you can try the switch differential incremental.

    -st sched_type

    This is the type of the schedule. The default schedule type is FULL. Here

    are the possible values, with their meanings, for this attribute:

    FULL - full

    INCR - differential incremental

    CINC - cumulative incremental

    UBAK - user backup

    UARC - user archive

    What were the options that you used with bpplsched?

    Full full list of options, usage and examples, see NetBackup Commands Reference Guide  http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3684

       Tuesday     006:00:00  018:00:00   054:00:00  066:00:00
       Wednesday   006:00:00  018:00:00   078:00:00  090:00:00
       Thursday    006:00:00  018:00:00   102:00:00  114:00:00
       Friday      006:00:00  018:00:00   126:00:00  138:00:00
       Saturday    006:00:00  018:00:00   150:00:00  162:00:00
     
     
    But you wish only to see 
     
       Monday      006:00:00  018:00:00   030:00:00  042:00:00
       Tuesday     006:00:00  018:00:00   054:00:00  066:00:00
       Wednesday   006:00:00  018:00:00   078:00:00  090:00:00
       Thursday    006:00:00  018:00:00   102:00:00  114:00:00
     
    You cannot do this from NetBackup commands, but, you could via OS commands ...
     
    For example :
     
    bpplsched womble_basic_disk -L |grep -v Sunday |grep -v Saturday |grep -v Friday 
     
    Schedule:              full_user
      Type:                UBAK (2)
      Frequency:           7 day(s) (604800 seconds)
      Retention Level:     0 (1 week)
      u-wind/o/d:          0 0
      Incr Type:           DELTA (0)
      Alt Read Host:       (none defined)
      Max Frag Size:       0 MB
      PFI Recovery:        0
      Maximum MPX:         1
      Number Copies:       1
      Fail on Error:       0
      Residence:           (specific storage unit not required)
      Volume Pool:         (same as policy volume pool)
      Server Group:        (same as specified for policy)
      Residence is Storage Lifecycle Policy:         0
      Schedule indexing:  0
      Daily Windows:
       Day         Open       Close       W-Open     W-Close
       Monday      006:00:00  018:00:00   030:00:00  042:00:00
       Tuesday     006:00:00  018:00:00   054:00:00  066:00:00
       Wednesday   006:00:00  018:00:00   078:00:00  090:00:00
       Thursday    006:00:00  018:00:00   102:00:00  114:00:00
     
     
    This example is Unix/ Linux - i am not sure how you run a grep command in windows, if it is even possible.
     
    Hmm, quick Google ...
     
     
     
    So there are 3rd party applications available.

    Do you only want specific days to be displayed although all week days are configured?

    Or do you want to configure schedules for certain days only?

    grep will not work on windows.  I far as I know, windows does not have a built in command that does the same think.

    It may be possible to find a downloadble program that can be used from the command line.

    You can try following command

    bpplsched <policy name> -add <Schedule type> -window <start window> <End window> -weekday <day_name>

    Example:

    bpplsched testpolicy -add full -window 82800 3600 - weekday Monday

     

    You have to run this command twice to crate schedule for Monday and Thurday

    is there a command to delete the respective day?

    or add the day one by one?
