Setting the schedule for a template

Types of schedules for a template include the following:

Run now and run according to rules for this template. If you select this option, the job will run as soon as a selection list is combined with the policy in which the template is contained. If the template is also linked to another template via a template rule, the job will also run according to the rule selected for the template.
Run according to schedule and run according to rules for this template. If you select this option, you can set a date when the template will go into effect, a time window, and the days on which the job will run. If the template is also linked to another template via a template rule, the job will also run according to the rule selected for the template. This is the default setting for templates.
Run only according to rules for this template. If you select this option, the template must be part of a template rule. The job created from the template will run based on the rule set for the template.

You can set an availability window and a priority on selection lists. If you set a schedule for a template that is not within the availability window for the selection list, Backup Exec displays the job status as Invalid Time Window.

To set the schedule for a template

On the Properties pane, under Frequency, select Schedule.

Select one of the following options:

Run now and run according to rules for this template	Select this option to run the job immediately after a selection list is combined with the policy in which this template is contained. If the template is part of a template rule, the job will also run according to the template rule. If you select this option to change the schedule for an existing template in a policy, the existing associated jobs are not run immediately. This prevents you from inadvertently performing a run now operation on all jobs that were created when the policy was combined with selection lists. The jobs run only according to the rules for the template.
Run according to schedule and run according to rules for this template	Select this option to configure a schedule for a recurring job, and then click Edit Schedule Details to set the schedule. See Scheduling jobs. If the template is part of a template rule, the job will also run according to the template rule.
Run only according to rules for this template	Select this option to set the job to run based on a template rule. For example, with the After <Template A> completes, start <Template B> template rule, <Template B> will run whenever <Template A> completes.
Submit job on hold	Select this option to submit the jobs that are created using this template with an on-hold status. You should select this option if you want to submit the job, but do not want it to run until you change the job's hold status.
