Excluding days from a window for a storage lifecycle policy operation

Use the Exclude Days tab to exclude specific days from a window. If a day is excluded from a window, jobs do not run on that day. The tab displays a calendar of three consecutive months. Use the lists at the top of the calendar to change the first month or year displayed.

  1. In the Window tab, select the name of an existing window from the drop-down menu.
  2. Select the Exclude Days tab.
  3. Use one or more methods to indicate the days to exclude:

    • Select the day(s) on the 3-month calendar that you want to exclude. Use the drop-down lists at the top of the calendar to change the months or year.

    • To indicate Recurring Week Days:

      • Click Select All to select all of the days in every month for every year.

      • Click the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or Last row label to exclude that week every month.

    • To indicate Recurring Days of the Month:

      • Click Select All to select all of the days in every month.

      • Click Deselect All to remove all existing selections.
