Hello - I currently run a backup from a client schedule in which the action is incremental and options include preschedulecmd and postschedulecmd. The preschedulecmd procedure performs application shutdown procedures and the postschedulecmd performs application startup procedures.
The user community would like to have the backup start at the same time every day preferably at 00:30. Currently, the client schedule is priority 2 with a four hour window beginning at 22:45. I could create a schedule with a priority 1, a start time of 00:30, and a smaller duration window. I could limit client schedule association to this one client node. But I am not sure that there is a way within a client schedule to guarantee a specific start time. Should I do this as a crontab entry? As a crontab entry, might I assume that the command "dsmc incremental" captures the same files and directories as a client schedule with the action "incremental"?
