zmschedulebackup
This command is used to schedule backups and add the command to your cron table. The default schedule is as follows:
- Full backup, every Saturday at 1:00 a.m. (0 1 * * 6)
- Incremental backup, Sunday through Friday at 1:00 a.m. (0 1 * * 0-5)
Each crontab entry is a single line composed of five fields separated by a blank space. Specify the fields as follows:
- minute — 0 through 59
- hour — 0 through 23
- day of month — 1 through 31
- month — 1 through 12
- day of week — 0 through 7 (0 or 7 is Sunday, or use names)
Type an asterisk (*) in the fields you are not using.
This command automatically writes the schedule to the crontab.
