Examples

"Last day of every month" schedule

Run the task once at 10 PM on the last day of every month.

The schedule's parameters are set up as follows.

1. Months: <All months>.

2. Days: Last. The task will run on the last day of every month despite its actual date.

3. Once at: 10:00:00 PM.

4. Effective:

From: empty.

To: empty.

This schedule is widely used when creating a custom backup scheme. The "Last day of every month"

schedule is added to the full backups, while the differential backups are scheduled to be performed

once a week and incremental on workdays. For more details, see the Monthly full, weekly

differential, and daily incremental backups plus cleanup example in the Custom backup scheme (p.

210) section.

"Season" schedule

Run the task on all workdays during the northern autumn seasons of 2009 and 2010. During a

workday, the task is performed every 6 hours from 12 AM (midnight) till 6 PM.

The schedule's parameters are set up as follows.

1. Months: September, October, November.

2. On: <all> <workdays>.

3. Every: 6 hours.

From: 12:00:00 AM Until: 06:00:00 PM.

4. Effective:

From: 08/30/2009. Actually the task will be started on the first workday of September. By setting

up this date we just define that the task must be started in 2009.

To: 12/01/2010. Actually the task will end on the last workday of November. By setting up this

date we just define that the task must be discontinued in 2010, after autumn ends in the

northern hemisphere.

Several monthly schedules for one task

In the case when the task needs to be run on different days or weeks with different time intervals

depending on the month, consider adding a dedicated schedule to every desired month or several

months.

Suppose that the task goes into effect on 11/01/2009.

 During northern winter, the task runs once at 10PM on every workday.

 During northern spring and autumn, the task runs every 12 hours on all workdays.
