Purpose
This article provides information about advanced scheduling techniques in Veeam Backup & Replication.
Solution
Scenario 1: Granular Scheduling This advanced scheduling technique allows for a job to be scheduled to run at different times each day. By configuring the job to run "Periodically every 1 Hour" and then using the Schedule button to assign which hours the job may start, it is possible to create a fully granular schedule. Notes: If the job is still running at a time when it is scheduled to start, the job run that would have occurred is skipped. The time slot selected does not limit the job's run duration. It only indicates to the backend scheduler that the job is permitted to start. If a day of the week has a Synthetic Full or Active Full scheduled, that Full operation will only occur during the first job run on that day. When configuring a job to run more than once per day, changing the job's retention to a "# of days" retention model can make retention easier to understand. Example: A company wants to configure their backup job to create a restore point every two hours during business hours, but only once a day during the weekends. The administrator would configure the job to run every 1 hour. Then, click the Schedule button and select the time slots that align with the desired schedule.
