      Hi,

      I tend to manage all my backups with SEQUENCES, working great, as expected.
      Say I have this sequence :
      2c7f8b4a-8b97-4417-abe5-a626d10c89f0-image.png

      I'd like to proceed with health check on BCK-HVA, only on sundays.

      How would one configure the schedule on the job ?
      If i simply tick the Health Chek yes, it will be done everyday.
      Current schedule on BCK-HVA :
      60f1c8a6-372c-4229-a6d3-1f05f254abf7-image.png

      Should I add another schedule specific for sundays with HealthCheck, and exclude HealthCheck for other days in the week ?

      Will the Sequence take into account the two schedules parameters in the job ? didnt find answers anywhere about this corner case...

          Hi @Pilow,

          We might improve this in the future, but for the moment you'll have to create two different schedules, one for the day with healthcheck, and another one for the six other days. Then, create two different sequences, one for each schedule.

            @Bastien-Nollet ha yeah, sequences are a set of schedules... so I have to put the two schedules in two sequences.

            my fear is that it is still not clear if the two separated sequences of schedules will behave as two schedules in one job. see what I mean ? (chain continuity of two schedules attached to one job)

            I dont want to get a new full with the standalone sequence/schedule that is healthcheck configured.

            i'll need to try and report back here.

              @Bastien-Nollet here comes the test :
              21b8b3d6-0be9-422a-ba5e-600424f73b85-image.png

              Same job, A_testhealth, delta backup
              Two schedules, healthcheck is ON only wenesday

              I manually started it today, it will take a full
              tomorrow, will be a delta
              after tomorrow should be a delta+healthcheck
              after after tomorrow should be a simple delta

              all in one backup chain. time will tell ! c ya in 4 days for the results 🙂
