Backup According to Scheduling Dates

You can organize backup missions so that each day’s backup management (that is, the backup workflow) is the same. The simplest method is to specify DAYS=ALL in the Basic Scheduling parameters of all backup missions. Once a day, when the New Day procedure is invoked, all backup missions scheduled for the next 24 hours are placed in the Active Missions file.

This backup organization does not maximize the capabilities of Control‑D. You can organize the backup order in different ways for different days (for example, weekdays, weekends, end of the month, holidays).

Using Control‑D, you can define several copies of the same backup mission. Each copy is an independent definition of the backup mission and can have different scheduling criteria, different runtime criteria, and so on.

Example

Backup mission BKP0031D does not start later than 06:00 on every workday, does not start later than 05:00 at the end of the month, and is not scheduled for holidays. Since there is no limit to the number of backup missions that can be defined, the user can organize the backup process to optimally suit every production day of the year.
