Specifying Health Check Schedule
You can schedule a backup health check to run on a specific day of a specific month or on specific days of the week.
Specifying Monthly Health Check Schedule
To instruct Veeam Agent to perform backup health check on a specific day of a month, use the following command:
veeamconfig healthcheck set --light --jobid <job_id> --thisday <day> |
or
veeamconfig healthcheck set --light --jobname <job_name> --thisday <day> |
where:
- <job_id> — ID of the backup job for which you want to configure health check schedule. You should look up the backup job ID before you configure the schedule — for example, with the veeamconfig job list command. To learn more, see Viewing List of Backup Jobs.
- <job_name> — name of the backup job for which you want to configure the health check schedule.
|
If the name of the job consists of several words and contains spaces, use quote marks around the name — for example, --jobName "Files Backup". |
- <day> — number of the day of the month when Veeam Agent must perform backup health check.
For example:
user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig healthcheck set --light --jobname SystemBackup --thisday 1 |
Specifying Weekly Health Check Schedule
To instruct Veeam Agent to perform backup health check on specific week days, use the following command:
veeamconfig healthcheck set --light --jobid <job_id> --weekdays <days> |
or
veeamconfig healthcheck set --light --jobname <job_name> --weekdays <days> |
where:
- <job_id> — ID of the backup job for which you want to configure health check schedule. You should look up the backup job ID before you configure the schedule — for example, with the veeamconfig job list command. To learn more, see Viewing List of Backup Jobs.
- <job_name> — name of the backup job for which you want to configure the health check schedule.
|
If the name of the job consists of several words and contains spaces, use quote marks around the name — for example, --jobName "Files Backup". |
- <days> — comma-separated list of days when the backup job must run backup health check. For example: Mon,Fri. The backup job will run the health check on the specified days at the time specified in the backup job schedule settings.
For example:
user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig healthcheck set --light --jobname "System Backup" --weekdays mon,fri |
