nsr_schedule

SYNOPSIS

       type: NSR schedule

DESCRIPTION

       Each  NetWorker  schedule is described by a single resource of type NSR
       schedule (see nsr_resource(5)).  To edit the NSR schedule resources for
       a NetWorker server, type:
              nsradmin -c "type:NSR schedule"
       or  use  the  nwadmin(1)  GUI.  See nsradmin(1) for more information on
       using the NetWorker administration program.

       This resource describes a sequence of levels controlling the amount  of
       data  saved by NetWorker clients (see nsr_client(5)).  There is one NSR
       schedule resource for each NetWorker schedule.

ATTRIBUTES

       The following attributes are defined for resource  type  NSR  schedule.
       The  information  in parentheses describes how the attribute values are
       accessed.  Read-only indicates that the value cannot be changed  by  an
       administrator.   Read/write means the value can be set as well as read.
       Several additional hidden attributes (e.g., administrator)  are  common
       to all resources, and are described in nsr_resource(5).

       name           (read/write)
              This  attribute  specifies the schedule's name.  The schedule is
              referred to by its name in client resources.
              Example: name: monthly_fulls;

       comment                       (read/write)
              This attribute is provided for the  administrator  to  keep  any
              explanatory  remarks  or  supplementary  information  about  the
              schedule.

       period              (read-only)
              This attribute specifies the length of  the  schedule's  period.
              It  may  be  either  "Week" or "Month".  "Week" schedules repeat
              every 7 days and start on Sunday.  "Month" schedules start  over
              at the first of each month.  The default is "Week."
              Example: period: Month;

       action              (read/write)
              This  attribute  specifies the sequence of save levels making up
              the schedule.  One entry is used for each day of  the  schedule.
              The  entries  must  be  separated by whitespace, i.e., blanks or
              tabs.  The  valid  levels  are  "consolidate,"  "full,"  "incr,"
              "skip,"  and  the numbers 1 through 9.  The actions consolidate,
              full, incr, and skip may be abbreviated "c," "f," "i," and  "s,"
              respectively.

              When  the  action  attribute  does not contain enough entries to
              account for every day in the period, NetWorker will  repeat  the
              list of actions when the end of the action list is reached.
              is of the form "month/day/year."  Month and day are 2 digit num-
              bers, year may be either 2 or 4 digits. If the year is 2 digits,
              numbers in the range 70-99 are assumed to be offsets from  1900,
              those  in  the  range  00-69 are assumed to be offset from 2000.
              Recurring date is of the form '[ number ] weekday every [ number
              ] period'.  number can be a number (1, 2, 3, etc.) or an ordinal
              (first, second, third, etc.), and it is optional.  weekday  must
              be  one  of  "monday," "tuesday," "wednesday," "thursday," "fri-
              day," "saturday," "sunday." The use of "last" for number is  not
              supported (for example, "last friday" cannot be used to refer to
              the last Friday of the month).  period must be  one  of  "week,"
              "month,"  "quarter," or "year."  Action/date pairs are separated
              by commas (',').
              Example: override:  full 1/1/1994, full  first  friday  every  2
              week;

EXAMPLE

       The  following  defines  a  NSR schedule resource named "Default."  The
       Default schedule may be modified, but it may not be deleted.  Each Net-
       Worker server must have a Default schedule.  This schedule has a period
       of one week, does a full save on  Sunday,  followed  by  6  incremental
       saves.  There are no override actions specified.

                    type:  NSR schedule;
                    name:  Default;
                  period:  Week;
                  action:  f i i i i i i;
               override:;

       The following defines a schedule named "quarterly."  It has a period of
       one month.  The action attribute specifies level 5, 9, and  incremental
       saves.   In  the  override  attribute, full saves are specified for the
       first day of each quarter.  Note that there are only 7 entries  in  the
       action  attribute.   Upon  reaching the end of the list, NetWorker will
       start over at the beginning of the list, performing a level 5 save.

                    type:  NSR schedule;
                    name:  quarterly;
                  period:  Month;
                  action:  5 incr incr incr 9 incr incr;
                override:  f 1/1/1994, f 3/1/1994, f 6/1/1994, f 9/1/1994, f 1/1/1995;
