Parameters
schedule-specification "specification"
Defines when the task first runs, and optionally when it recurs and expires. You can use a comma to separate
optional conditions. Dates cannot be in the past. For times, if AM or PM is not specified, a 24-hour clock is
used.
• start yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm[AM|PM]
Specifies a date and time to be the first instance when the scheduled task runs, and to be the starting
point for any specified recurrence.
• [every # minutes|hours|days|weeks|months|years]
Specifies the interval at which the task runs.
For better performance when scheduling a TakeSnapshot task that runs under heavy I/O conditions or
on more than three volumes, the retention count and the schedule interval should be set to similar values.
For example if the retention count is 10 then the interval should be set to 10 minutes.
For a Replicate task, the minimum interval is 30 minutes
