Hi,

Our backups are run in 3 phases (7pm, 9pm, and 4am) to allow certain tasks (ie. Windows ntbackup jobs, mysql dumps, etc.) to complete before backing them up.  We do differential backups mon-thu, and full backups on Fridays.  The first Full backup of the month becomes an archive backup that is kept indefinitely.

 

The problem occurs when the first day of the month is a Saturday (such as this month).  Phase 3 of the “monthly” job will run on the first of the month, and phases 1 and 2 will run the following Friday.

 

Is there any way to make a schedule specification such as “1st fri at 9:00pm + 7 hours” ?

 

Or has anyone else resolved this issue differently?

 

Thanks,

Brent.
