This can be done with any NetBackup GUI. If using the Java or NT GUIs, use Backup Policy Management click on the Master Server you wish to manage, then click on the ~S+~T sign for the class you wish to work on, and right-click Schedules and select New. Give the schedule a meaningful name and specify the frequency period and what level of multiplexing (if any) to allow. Next specify the type of backup this schedule is for, how long to retain the backups, and specify whether or not you wish to override the default storage unit or volume pool. Finally, you should specify what days of the week you wish to do backups, specifying the start time and the duration of the backup window for starting backup jobs in the class. When satisfied with the settings, click OK. If you wish to copy an existing schedule, locate the class that contains the schedule you wish to copy. Click the ~S+~T symbol next to the class, then click on Schedules below that class. The individual schedules will display in the right window. Right-click on the desired schedule and select Copy. Select the name for the new schedule and what class it should be added to. Make any changes desired in the schedule and click OK. If using xbpadm, select the class you wish to work on, then select the schedule tab/button. Select New, and either copy the schedule from an existing class or give it a name and select okay. At that point you will have to specify whether or not you wish to override the default storage unit or volume pool. You will need to specify what type of this schedule is for as well as the retention period, frequency, and whether or not to multiplex with this schedule. Finally, you should specify what days of the week you wish to do backups, specifying the start time and the duration of the backup window for starting backup jobs in the class.
