Backup Schedule

[tjk]

Hi,

Testing out PBS 2 and I cannot see a way to schedule a job to run every X hours. I see you can select a time for the job to run, but I can't schedule the job to say run every 4 hours and backup VM X as an example.

Am I missing something?

This is not possible over the web-interface currently, but we're working on more flexible scheduling:

As workaround, you can edit the /etc/pve/vzdump.cron file, or as editing may make the API/GUI acting a bit up for the edited jobs, create a separate cron files or systemd timers to run the vzdump commands with an increased frequency.
