IBM E16RMLL-I - Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Manual page 419

Before Tivoli Storage Manager V5.3, there were limited options for setting the
repetition parameters. You could not, for example, schedule a backup to run on
the first Wednesday of each month—with enhanced schedules, you can.
We wish to schedule an image backup of the C drive of our Windows
workstations on the last Friday of every month, at 1 a.m. When defining the
schedule, we use the SCHEDStyle=enhanced option, and use the MONth,
DAYOFMonth, WEEKofmonth, and DAYofweek options. Example 12-15 shows
the command.
