Plan daily scan for GFS backup to tape

[matteu]

Hello,

I don't find how can I configure this value for backup to tape job with GFS media pool ?
I would like to set it to 4 or 5 am to be sure all my backups are over when I perform the GFS to tape.

Thanks

Hi matteu,

Have a look at DailyStartAt parameter in New-VBRTapeGFSScheduleOptions cmdlet.

Thanks for your answer.

I use it for weekly, monthly, .. but didn't notice the dailystartat.

However I don't know how to use it because I don't have the expected result.

I tried :

Code: Select all

$ScheduleParams =@{
            DailyStartAt = "04:00:00"
            WeeklyDay = "Sunday"
            MonthlyKind = "DayOfMonth" 
            MonthlyDayOfMonth =1 
            YearlyKind = "DayOfYear" 
            YearlyDayOfMonth = 1 
            QuarterlyKind = "DayOfQuarter" 
            QuarterlyDayOfMonth = 1        
        }
        $schedule = New-VBRTapeGFSScheduleOptions @ScheduleParams

Unfortunately all parameters are configured excepted "dailstartat" wich is always 00:00

Hi matteu,

Looks like DailyStartAt requires another parameter for it to work - WeeklyStartAt. However, looks like I found a bug with it: WeeklyStartAt is required for DailyStartAt to work, but it's not impacting anything itself, so it's redundant. I submitted a bug report to QA. Meanwhile, try using the cmdlet I suggested above with both DailyStartAt and WeeklyStartAt. You can pass the same time for each of the parameters, for example, since WeeklyStartAt will not affect the processing settings.

Best regards,
Oleg

It works fine yes if I specify dailystartat and weeklystartat.

Thanks
