Full backup every two weeks

[FedericoCoppola]

Hi all,
I need to create a simple full backup job and I would execute it every two weeks.
On this backup job I have choosen virtual machines and right repository.

Storage:
- restore points to keep on disk: 1 (I want just a full backup)
- Advanced > Create syntetic full backups periodically > Wednesday (in my case)

Schedule:
- There isn't any option about it. Is there any workaround?

Thanks so much
Federico

Hi Federico, you can trigger the job via PS script scheduled with the Windows Task Scheduler.

Hi @foggy,
thanks for your answare.
Do you suggest to create all task using PS script and not GUI right?
Thanks so much

You can create the job without a schedule via Veeam B&R GUI and then schedule the script that triggers it. Please search for examples on the forums.

Hi @foggy,
thanks for your help.
I have completed my task using Veeam Backup and Replication Gui about Backup Job creation.
Than I have used the last string that there is in "Summary" wizard tab, for example
"C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\Veeam.Backup.Manager.exe" backup 1d302f72-7e3a-40be-b2f2-325eacec3wef

I have copied it and I have created a simple .bat file.
In this way I am using batch file in task scheduler to execute the job every two weeks.

Merry Christmas
Best regards

Federico
