To Create A Schedule - HP StorageWorks D2D User Manual

• Four types of schedule are allowed: daily, weekly monthly by day and monthly by week.
• Up to 12 schedules may be created.
When an export or copy scheduled job is run, it automatically overwrites the cartridge in the tape drive.
If the cartridge is not blank, there is no warning and no record in the job log.
NOTE:
The backup application is not automatically updated with any schedules created on the HP D2D Backup
System. The two are independent of each other. If you want the backup application schedules to work in
conjunction with a schedule on the HP D2D Backup System, you must co-ordinate them manually.

Select Schedule from the Tape Attach section of the navigation side bar.
