How would i setup a job to run specifically at 8, 12, and 19:00?

Hello-

I have a job that I would like to schedule to run 3 times daily. The first time i would like to run it at 8AM, then again at noon, and finally again at 7PM. I really want to keep it in a single job so that the chain remains intact and restores are always against the same job. I see where I can set up a job to run periodically every X hours/minutes, but I would really like to run it as closely as possible against the time schedule above if possible. How would I accomplish this?

Hi Chad,

Set the schedule to be periodically every 4 hours, and set a backup window that only allows those times: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120 (step 4 for backup window)

The scheduler starts its count from 00:00 every day when you set the Periodically every N Hours/Minutes, so 4 hours will catch your 8 and 12 run; normally that means that at 20:00 would be the next run, but it will try to run again at 16:00, see that the backup window is set, but at 19:00, it will be able to run.

If that's not favorable, you can also schedule a task in the task scheduler to run a simple powershell script with Start-VBRJob, and set the script to run at that time.
