Need daily backups to run later 1 day a week

Post by Jeff M »

Does anyone know of a way to make all daily run backups run a different schedule 1 day a week? We are starting to do updates once a week on Sundays. Normally, I will disable all backup jobs prior to the start time (6 PM) until all of our groups report their updates are done. Then, I will manually re-enable and start backups, starting with the ones furthest behind schedule and staggering them throughout the rest of the night until they are caught up. We have 7 Veeam Backup servers each having about 10 to 20 jobs running about 1000 VM backups and about 100 Veeam Agent backed physical servers. It wasn't so bad when we were doing updates once a month but now every Sunday is becoming a pain. Is there a way to start our daily scheduled backup cycle about 2 or 3 hours later 1 day a week?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hello,
yes, that works by using the backup window. Deny the time on Sunday when you do updates.

Best regards,
Hannes
