      Hi,

      been playing a bit with the Backup NG, i kind of miss the possibility of doing different jobs on weekdays than on the weekend...

      like for example, i want to backup a fileserver each weekday with a retention value 2 but on saturday, sunday stop that to have the network and remote storage ready for the regular backup jobs.

      This is for emergency scenario, the backups on the local storage are done with snapshots.

      i miss the day-of-week ( dow ) setting that i have in cron, can i make the job wth a schedule and then change the schedule in crontab?

          Hi,

          You can do it using the Backup NG UI. Simply click on Switch to week days located in the schedule creation modal.

          Then, you can choose the days which you want the backup to be done.
