zmschedulebackup
(Network Edition only)
This command is used to schedule backups and add the command to your cron table.
The default schedule is as follows:
• |
Full backup, every Sunday at 1:00 a.m. (0 1 * * 0) |
• |
Incremental backup, Monday through Saturday at 1:00 a.m. (0 1 * * 1-6) |
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)
Type an asterisk (*) in the fields you are not using.
This command automatically writes the schedule to the crontab.
