Backup Central

I'm looking into possibilities for some new schedules in NetWorker and was wondering - has anyone figured out a way to define an "every other week" kind of schedule? I'd like to do full backups for some of our clients every two weeks. I know how to create "full on the first Monday" and "full on the 3rd Monday" schedules. Based on the length of the month, however, this varies the amount of time between full backups.

Thanks.
Teresa

Hi Teresa,

Use "full monday every two weeks" as your override. It works.

Pool retention doesn't quite cut the mustard either.... We have to modify
retentions via script, but if this one last feature was implemented
scripting would be at a minimum....
