Creating Schedule Sets

A Schedule Set is used to specify scheduling options for backup and restore jobs. These options define when and at what intervals a job runs. You can create Schedule Sets from the Create Backup Job and Create Restore Job pages.

To create a Schedule Set
1
Start the job configuration wizard, and click Create New next to the Schedule list.
2
On the Create Schedule Set page, configure the following options.
 
Table 37. Schedule type
Schedule type
Description

Immediate

To run a job as soon as it is submitted, select this option.

Once

To run a job once on the specified days, select this option, and configure the following options:

•
Run at: Type or select the start time for the job.
•
Starting from: Type or select the date on which the schedule takes effect.
•
Schedule method: Select a scheduling method and configure the required options. The available methods are: Any day, On days of week, On days of month, and On specified date. For more information, see Scheduling methods and options for non-repeating jobs.

Repeating

To create a recurring schedule for jobs that are performed regularly, select this option, and configure the following options:

•
Run at: Type or select the start time for the job.
•
Starting from: Type or select the date on which the schedule takes effect.
•
Schedule method: Select a scheduling method and configure the required options. The available methods are: Every day, On days of week, On days of month, and Every. For more information, see Scheduling methods and options for repeating jobs.
NOTE: For repeating jobs, the first instance is scheduled when you submit the job. The next instance is scheduled when the current instance becomes active, and this procedure is repeated for each subsequent instance.

You cannot use the Repeating schedule type to run Secondary Copy jobs.

Triggered

To schedule a job from an external script, select this option.

The most common use of this option is to run a job independently of the NetVault Scheduler such as from a 3rd-party scheduler or an automation interface.

To schedule a triggered job, do the following:

•
Create an external script file, and include the following command in the script:
nvtrigger <trigger_name>
A trigger name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. On Linux OS, the names can have a maximum of 64 characters. On Windows OS, there is no length restriction, but a maximum of 20 characters is recommended. On Windows OS, the following characters are not supported:
" / \ : ; | * ? < >^
The nvtrigger utility is stored in the bin directory under the NetVault installation directory. If this path is not configured in the path variable, provide the complete file path. Alternatively, include commands to change to the appropriate directory in the script.
You can run the script from the command line interface.

 
•
When creating the Schedule Set, select the Triggered option. In the Trigger Name box, provide the same trigger name that was specified with the nvtrigger command in the external script file.
NOTE: You cannot use the Triggered schedule type to run Secondary Copy jobs.

Under Job Options, configure the following settings.
 
Table 38. Job retry and priority settings for Schedule Set
Option
Description

Job Retries

This setting is used to automatically reschedule a job after a failed attempt.

To schedule retry attempts for a job, do the following:

•
Select the Job Retries check box, and in the value box type or select a value from 1 through 10. You can set a maximum of 10 retries for a job.
•
In the Retry After box, type or select the interval between two attempts. By default, the job is scheduled to run immediately after a failed attempt.
NOTE: For each retry attempt, the same Job ID number is used, but the instance ID number is increased by 1.

Job Priority

The Schedule Manager assigns a default priority level to each job type (backup, restore, and report). These default settings are applied globally to all backup, restore, and report jobs. The priority settings are used to prioritize resource allocation when two or more jobs are scheduled to run at the same time.

By default, the Schedule Manager assigns the following priority levels:

•
Backup job: 30
•
Restore job: 20
•
Report job: 50

You can override the global priority setting for an individual job by configuring the Job Priority option in the Schedule Set.

To override the default priority settings for an individual job:
•
In the Job Priority box, type or select a value from 1 through 100. 1 denotes highest priority, while 100 denotes lowest priority. A job with a priority level of zero (0) runs as a background task.

To change the priority level settings globally for all jobs, see Configuring default job priority settings.

Click Save, and in the Create New Set dialog box, type a name for the set.
The set name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non‑Latin characters. On Linux OS, the name can have a maximum of 200 characters. On Windows OS, there is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.
Click Save to save the Schedule Set.
