Scheduling Snapshots You can use the enableSchedule and the schedule parameters to schedule automatic snapshots. Automatic snapshots can be scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly (by day or by date). The enableSchedule parameter turns on or off the ability to schedule snapshots. When you enable scheduling, you use the schedule parameter to define when you want the snapshots to occur. Parameters Parameter Description immediate Begins a snapshot operation immediately; a snapshot virtual disk is created and a copy-on-write operation begins. startDate Defines a specific start date snapshot virtual disk creation. The format for this option is MM:DD:YY. If no start date is provided, the current date is used. For example: startDate=06:27:11. scheduleDay Defines a day of the week you want to create a snapshot virtual disk and perform a copy-on-write operation. The values that you can enter are: monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, and all. For example: scheduleDay=wednesday. startTime Defines time of a day you want to create a snapshot virtual disk and start performing a copy-on-write operation. The format for entering the time is HH:MM, where HH is the hour and MM is the minute past the hour. Use a 24-hour clock. For example: startTime=14:27, which corresponds to 2:27 PM. scheduleInterval Amount of time, in minutes that defines a minimum between two copy-on-write operations. It is possible for you to create a schedule in which you have overlapping copy-on-write operations because of the duration of a copy operation. You can ensure that copy-on-write operations maintain a correct interval by using this option. The maximum value for the scheduleInterval option is 1440 minutes. For example: scheduleInterval=180. endDate Specific date to stop creating a snapshot virtual disk and end the copy-on-write operations. The format is MM:DD:YY, where MM is the month, DD the day and YY the year. For example: endDate=11:26:11. noEndDate Use this option to prevent a scheduled copy-on-write operation from ending.
