12. Holidays
There may be days of the year, even days of the month, that you don’t want any of your backup jobs to run. For
instance, on holidays there may have been no activity on the system, and there may not be anyone available to
insert new backup cartridges in the tape drive. You may schedule Backup Exceptions or “Holidays” from
performing backups.
There are actually two ways to do this, on a job-by-job basis, or for all backup jobs. To set exceptions for all
backup jobs, select
Configure !Holidays from the menu bar. To set exceptions for a specific job, press the
Exceptions button in the Backup Schedule section of the Job Configuration Screen . The respective screens
will be displayed as follows:
In the first screen, you may enter one or more dates on which ALL backup jobs will be excluded from running. In
the second screen, you may enter additional dates in the date fields that will be excluded for this job in addition
to those excluded on global holidays. Since it may be cumbersome to enter the dates by hand, and since the
dates may be dependent on the day of the week, it is useful to have a calendar handy. By pressing the calendar
icon next to each date field, a calendar will appear such as the following:
If you press a specific date on the calendar, that date will be automatically inserted into the date field and this
window will close. You may press either the
<<PREV and NEXT>> buttons to change the calendar to the
previous or next month and select a date from that calendar.
