Hi All,
I'm trying to re-create a backup job in BE2012 the same way we have it now in BE2010R3 but I'm having trouble in getting this particular job to run at the desired time.
In BE2010 we run jobs based on daily (Mon-Thursday) Weekly (Friday) and Monthly (Last Friday on the month). This is the backup policy which most of our jobs conform to. For a couple of jobs we need to specify that the job does not start until 2am in the morning. In BE2010 we did this by using the same policy as per the other jobs but assigning an Availability Window on the selection list for the specific jobs which needed to only start after 2am.
The benefit of this was that on those monthly jobs which backup on the last Friday of the month we could effectively have these jobs run after 2am on the Saturday without having to worry about creating a new job for Saturdays as at least once a year this would not work when the last Friday of the month was the last date of the month meaning that a 'last Saturday of the month' would actually run the week before.
I'm sure that there must be a way of configuring this in BE2012 but I'm struggling to find it at present. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
