I need create one schedule and make the backup always on Tuesdays
and every three weeks.
Am I missing something here? Why not frequency based?
Backup window open during Tuesday, frequency set to 3 weeks ....

Create a Policy with a schedule type of "Calendar". Then from the Calendar Schedule tab under the "Edit Calendar schedule by" box choose "Recurring Days of the Month" that will allow you to specify dates like that.

It can be done - Use calender based scheduling.
See the Netbackup 7.5 administrator guide volume 1 - Page 617 "Calendar Schedule tab".

Actually after rereading the origional post I guess I was confused. I thought you needed the Thrid Tuesday of every month. If the requirement is just every three weeks Andy is right. A frequency of 3 weeks and correct window times would be the way to go. Sorry about the confusion.

Further to Andy's suggestion, I have always set the frequency to 20 days rather than 3 weeks... this simply allows the backup to always run on the day, even if the backup should overrun.

A good lesson for *ANY* frequency based schedule.
It is way *too* easy to set a frequency of 1 week / 7 days for a schedule that needs to run every Monday, say, when 6 days (or less) would ensure "the backup to always run on the day".

You certainly learn the lesson after a short time when your backups are running "every other 3 weeks"!!!

My confusion comes in the frecuency, thought it was the number of backups that makes over a week, 3 per week, not every 3 weeks.
Thanks to all
