I am trying to figure out if it's possible to have the follwoing snapshots:
- a daily snapshot which's schedule is set to: mo thru fri, start time 03:00 no end time
- a weekend/backup snapshot which's schedule is: start time sat 03:00, end time should be sun 23:59
So what I basically trying to do is: have a renewing snapshot each night at 3am and have a snapshot that lasts from sat 03:00 to sun 23:59, where the snapshot is being backed upo to tape.
I seem to cannot set this up using the controls in the GUI, because I can omit the end time for a snapshot, but I can't omit the start time for a snapshot, can I?
I didn't intend to do the backup on the Open-E box itself, so of course the iSCSI snapshot has to be mounted on a host to do this, but I will need more than 24 hours backup the entire snapshot. So I would need the snapshot to last for longer than 24 hours.
And I wanted to have this one automatically scheduledm of course.
Maybe I didn't made that clear enough.
