Creating Auxiliary Copy Schedules Using Patterns

You can create a time based schedule patterns to perform auxiliary copy operations on a specific time. For example: Auxiliary jobs that should be run on a specific day of the week.

• If you are upgrading to the latest service pack, then all previous auxiliary copy schedules will convert to use the Scalable Resource Allocation option. If the schedule or the schedule policy has a V10 MediaAgent, then that schedule or schedule policy is not converted to use the Scalable Resource Allocation option. However, if you have a V10 MediaAgent and a user creates a schedule or a schedule policy with the Scalable Resource Allocation option enabled, then the system will not honor this auxiliary copy optimization option.

Also, if you disable Scalable Resource Allocation option manually, the system will automatically reset it as enabled.
