Schedule one per month

Votes:

Hello,

I supervise acronis backups using the imap sensor. For one of my backups, it is done only once a month, on the last day of the month. Is it possible to do this type of planning?

Hello there,

And thank you for your post.

Do you want the IMAP sensor to perform a scan only on the last day of the month? Do you want the sensor to be paused in between scans, or do you want it to be in "Up" state?

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I'd like the sensor to be in the up state and only scan once a month. I'm thinking that if not, I can check the age of the email by choosing 744 hours (31 days)?

Hello,

Unfortunately, the longest scanning interval that can be entered for a sensor is 10 days. So you would need to look for a alternative, for example check the age of the email (like you have mentioned).
