Schedule Format
---------------
-
-{pve} has a very flexible replication scheduler. It is based on the systemd
-time calendar event format.footnote:[see `man 7 systemd.time` for more information]
-Calendar events may be used to refer to one or more points in time in a
-single expression.
-
-Such a calendar event uses the following format:
-
-----
-[day(s)] [[start-time(s)][/repetition-time(s)]]
-----
-
-This format allows you to configure a set of days on which the job should run.
-You can also set one or more start times. It tells the replication scheduler
-the moments in time when a job should start.
-With this information we, can create a job which runs every workday at 10
-PM: `'mon,tue,wed,thu,fri 22'` which could be abbreviated to: `'mon..fri
-22'`, most reasonable schedules can be written quite intuitive this way.
-
-NOTE: Hours are formatted in 24-hour format.
-
-To allow a convenient and shorter configuration, one or more repeat times per
-guest can be set. They indicate that replications are done on the start-time(s)
-itself and the start-time(s) plus all multiples of the repetition value. If
-you want to start replication at 8 AM and repeat it every 15 minutes until
-9 AM you would use: `'8:00/15'`
-
-Here you see that if no hour separation (`:`), is used the value gets
-interpreted as minute. If such a separation is used, the value on the left
-denotes the hour(s), and the value on the right denotes the minute(s).
-Further, you can use `*` to match all possible values.

-xref:pvesr_schedule_format_examples[more Examples below].

-Detailed Specification
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-days:: Days are specified with an abbreviated English version: `sun, mon,
-tue, wed, thu, fri and sat`. You may use multiple days as a comma-separated
-list. A range of days can also be set by specifying the start and end day
-separated by ``..'', for example `mon..fri`. These formats can be mixed.
-If omitted `'*'` is assumed.
-
-time-format:: A time format consists of hours and minutes interval lists.
-Hours and minutes are separated by `':'`. Both hour and minute can be list
-and ranges of values, using the same format as days.
-First are hours, then minutes. Hours can be omitted if not needed. In this
-case `'*'` is assumed for the value of hours.
-The valid range for values is `0-23` for hours and `0-59` for minutes.
