Calendar based schedule not working as expected.

hello,

i am not sure what i am missing here - would be great if someone point me to fix this.

we do calender based schedule so today i noticed some strange thing - here i attach the screenshots & bpimage output.

client: prodl008

FULL Backup days: 2nd/4th week of every month so technially 13th & 27th of April 2016

Incr Backup days : all days except those 2 days thats why i excluded 2nd/4th week and included all - u can see my screenshot.

but today when i notice the images - 27th full backup didn't run rather it run the incremental.

on FULL schedule, remove ALL exclude days, make sure INCLUDE is only 2nd and 4th 

on INCR schedule, remove ALL exclusions, make sure INCLUDE does NOT have 2nd and 4th checked.

 

You do NOT need to put exclusions if it is not scheduled. Exclusions will be used for one off, do not run because of maintenance, or for 1st of the year or something like that.

 

It looks like you have BOTH included and EXCLUDED your full backup, so it will not run.
