SUMMARY

Applying a custom replication schedule to a Protection Group

ISSUE

How do I use the custom replication schedule feature?

RESOLUTION

A custom schedule can be applied to a Protection Group under the details view:

Boomerang supports scheduled replication jobs for Protection Groups using Cron expressions.

The Cron formatting is as follows:

 * * * * * * *
 │ │ │ │ │ │ │
 │ │ │ │ │ │ └─── Year (Optional, 1970-2099)
 │ │ │ │ │ └────── Day of week (1-7 or SUN-SAT)
 │ │ │ │ └───────── Month (1-12 or JAN-DEC)
 │ │ │ └──────────── Day of month (1-31)
 │ │ └─────────────── Hours (0-23)
 │ └────────────────── Minutes (0-59)
 └───────────────────── Seconds (0-59)

Boomerang uses Quartz style expressions which offers a richer set of scheduling options than standard cron.
