NetBackup Calendar Based Scheduling for individual dates - is a run window required?
All, I am trying to setup a calendar based schedule that is based on individual run dates to run quarterly backup jobs. The run dates will be populated via a cron job on the master server (Solaris 11) on Jan 1 of every year. The population of the dates works fine but do I also need to set a run window for each date? If so how does one determine which day of the week is appropriate for the selected date (as each run date is on a different day of the week)? Do I need to create run window for every day of the week and preselect them as exclude dates and then have my cron job remove the exclude and add in the include date? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Need help on how to script an "alternate location" backup for a specific server (VM) weekly
Hello, this is my first post, I do browse the forums everyweek though. ;) Here's my problem, I do this very manual "restore" to an alternate location for a server that needs a second backup copy every single week, (with different host (VM), different display name, etc). I was wondering if it was possible to script/schedule this sort of backup to happen weekly. Right now it is very time consuming and laborous to do this every week and was wondering if any shortcuts were available. Let me know if its possible to script something like that! Thanks, etn
