What is the correct format for the scheduling component of a SnapVault schedule?

• A. YYYY-MM-DD
• B. crontab format
• C. cnt[@day_list][@hour_list]
• D. List of dates in ISO Date format

Answer: (C)

SnapVault 7-Mode schedules use a compact, one-string format that encodes both how many backups to keep and when to run them. The pattern is cnt[@day_list][@hour_list]. The leading part, cnt, specifies how many backups should be retained for this schedule. The optional day_list indicates on which days of the week the backup should run, and the optional hour_list indicates the hours of the day (in 24-hour time) when the job should run. The brackets show that the day and hour parts are optional, so you can specify just the retention count or add days and times as needed. This format is specific to SnapVault scheduling and differs from standard date formats or crontab syntax. For example, 5@Mon,Wed@02 would retain five backups and run at 2:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays. If you omit day_list or hour_list, the system uses its default behavior for those parts.
