Solstice Backup 5.1 Administration Guide

Using a Group Schedule to Override a Client's Regular Backup Schedule

You can use a group's Level and Schedule attributes to override a client's regular backup schedule. For example, one evening you might want to run a full backup on all the clients in a group, regardless of the clients' regular backup schedules. The entry you make in the Level attribute overrides the backup level setting for every client in the group.

Alternatively, you might want a group of clients to follow the same backup schedule instead of each client's individual schedule. You could assign a group of clients to follow the default schedule (full every Sunday) regardless of each client's individual schedule. If you leave the group's Level and Schedule attributes blank (the preconfigured setting), the clients follow their individual backup schedules.
