Start rtrr Job on weekend

[Ratix]

Hello,
Unfortunately, the web front end allows only one weekday when you plan a rtrr job.
But I would need the job to start automatically on Saturday and Sunday.
What are the options to start this job automatically on several days?

Best regards

Two separate backup jobs, one starting at Saturdays and one starting at Sundays.

Iis unfortunately not the best solution.
The second job is independent of the first and indexes everything new.
It has solved over a /mnt/HDA_ROOT/.config/crontab entry:
00 20 * * 7 qsync -j: Job3 -c: /etc/config/qsync/qsync.conf

works without problems even with notification email.

Thanks anyway

...and indexes everything new.

What do you mean by that exactly? What is the unwanted effect?

The job on Sunday is completely independent of the job on Saturday, although the same directories are copied.
The second job lasted more than 60 hours.
Thus, a completely new index was created and the data was copied again.
Also the memory consumption on the raid was about 500mb larger.

My solution is not nice, but it works.
Both jobs run for about 1 hour.

Perhaps QNAP revises the scheduler so that the times can be adjusted better.

If you want Saturday and Sunday, manually edit this to:

Code: Select all

00 20 * * 6,7 qsync -j: Job3 -c: /etc/config/qsync/qsync.conf

... but be aware: editing the job in Backup Station will re-write this entry.
