Full third saturday of february
Hi all
To put a Schedule with an override for the 3rd saturday of January, it is posible to use the workaround
full third saturday every year
But, how to do it for february, or for any other month?
These are not accepted:
full third saturday every february
full third saturday each february
full third saturday of february
Thanks

Hi Noel,
That's correct, we can not use Month in schedules but I found an alternative that can be used in place of month name.
we can use month number instead of using month name.
I know its weird combination but it works
hope you get your answer.

Hello,
As your schedule will be based on a Year (one backup during the year, I guess you only can select the day you want by counting manually (or easier by choosing the number of the week you want to do the override)
3rd Saturday of February will be the eighth Saturday of the year (week 8) so: Full 8 Saturday every year
3rd Saturday of June will be the 25th Saturday of the year (Week 25) so: Full 25 Saturday every year
Hope it will help you
Cheers
Greg

The problem with that is that 3rd Saturday of June is not "the 25th Saturday of the year", nor 3rd Saturday of February is "8th Saturday of the year".
e.g. This year (2016) January had 5 Saturdays (2,9,16,23 and 30) so 3rd Saturday of February was the 8th Saturday of the year, but next year (2017) January will have 4 Saturdays (7,14,21 and 28) so 3rd Saturday of February will be the 7th Saturday of the year. Same for June: 3rd Saturday of June 2017 will be the 24th Saturday of the year.
And no, I don't want to need to rememeber each year to count the days and put the correct dates like
(BTW what a stupid way of organizing dates, day between month and year) and it is very ugly to put all years in advance. What if the system runs for more years than you put at once?

If this is Windows, you could use the Task Scheduler and start the appropriate savegrp command.
TS is much for comfortable and it has the capability for these kind of schedules.

Month Names are not accepted as part of valid schedule overrides.

Checking it. At least, it has been accepted by NetWorker.
Thanks

Tested it, and it worked. Many thanks.
