Configuring the include dates

The Include dates tab appears in the Add schedule or Edit schedule tabs. For the tab to display, you must select the Calendar option as the Schedule type on the Attributes tab.

The tab displays a calendar of three consecutive months. Use the lists at the top of the calendar to change the first month or year displayed.

Use the Calendar option in the policy Attributes tab to create a job schedule based on a calendar view. The Include dates tab lets you configure the schedules that run according to specific days, on recurring week days, or on recurring days of the month.

Note:

Using the calendar schedule, if a green circle does not appear on a day, the day is not included in the schedule.

If Retries allowed after run day is enabled, a job may run on a day that is not included in the schedule.

When a new calendar schedule is created with Retries allowed after run day enabled, the schedule runs its first job on the next day when the backup window is open. That day may be before the first run day that is included in the schedule.

To use a calendar to schedule run days:

In the Attributes tab, enable the Calendar option.
Select the Include dates tab.

- Select the day(s) on the three-month calendar on which you want the jobs to run. Use the drop-down lists at the top of the calendar to change the months or year.
