Creating Avamar backup schedules from the CLI

Creating a schedule for your backup policies is a must.

Here we add a schedule called "DAILYBACKUP" that is assigned to the root / domain in Avamar (available to all policies) and it's set to run Monday thru Sunday from 6pm for a duration of 12hrs using the timezone of SYDNEY. 

Take note of the timezone, if you are setting up an Avamar node in a different timezone use the correct city, using your GUI interface from a different country will create the schedule based on YOUR timezone. 

This is why I use the CLI to create the schedules for nodes that are not located in my local timezone.

mccli schedule add --name=DAILYBACKUP --domain=/ --days=Mu,Tu,W,Th,F,Sa,Su --start=18:00 --duration=12:00 --tz=Asia/Sydney
