Hi Arno,
Thanks for your reply. Below is the schedule:
schedule {
name = "ZeusCycle"
run = full 1st sun at 1:05
run = incremental mon-sat at 1:05
}
Basically my goal is to have automated disk management. I want a full backup
done once a month, incrementals all other times, and to keep two months
worth of backups in my storage area.
Thanks.
Dave.
