You can schedule most client operations, such as backup, to begin automatically. You can schedule the following on most clients:
This section guides you through scheduling client backups for three registered client nodes assigned to the STANDARD policy domain: bill, mark, and mercedes.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |define schedule standard daily_incr action=incremental - | | starttime=23:00 | | | |define association standard daily_incr bill,mark,mercedes | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
OR
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | |dsmc schedule | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
![]() | To help ensure that the scheduler is running on the clients, clients can
include the SCHEDULE command in their system start-up commands.
The include-exclude list (file on UNIX clients) on each client also affects which files are backed up or archived by the two schedules defined in the preceding steps. For example, if a file is excluded from backup with an EXCLUDE statement, the file will not be backed up when the DAILY_INCR schedule runs. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |query event standard daily_incr begindate=today-1 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
OR
![]() | You can limit the query of events to display only schedules that did not
run as expected. For example, you can use the following command daily
to see which clients did not run the DAILY_INCR schedule the previous
day:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |query event standard daily_incr begindate=today-1 - | | exceptionsonly=yes | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Schedules that did not complete successfully have a status of Failed, Missed, or Severed. |
