The command or action that you run may be an incremental backup (client
schedule) or a storage pool migration (administrative schedule) that should run
every day at a particular time. You also have to estimate how long the command
runs so that you can synchronize your schedules and balance the load on the
server.
Clientaction
In addition, there is a special client schedule called
, which is for a
client action that you only want to run once. If the client scheduler mode is
server-prompted
, the schedule runs immediately. If the client scheduler mode is
client polling
, the schedule runs the next time the client polls the server. For
example, if you wish to initiate a backup on a new client, and you want it to run
immediately, you set the scheduler mode of the client to server-prompted and
define a clientaction to perform an incremental backup on the node.

In this chapter we provide scheduling rules of thumb and recommendations that
will give you a good base configuration.
