For example, the following command creates a restore plan entitled Documents that restore data from Amazon S3 one time on March 27, 2018 at 23:00:

./cbb addRestorePlan -a "S3" -n "Documents" -f "/users/robert/Documents" -at "27.03.2018 23:00"

The following command creates a restore plan that is scheduled to execute daily at 9 p.m:

./cbb addRestorePlan -a "My S3 account" -n "Documents" -f "/users/robert/Documents" -every day -at "21:00"

The following command creates a restore plan that is scheduled to execute every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 2 a.m:

./cbb addRestorePlan -a "My S3 account" -n "Documents" -f "/users/robert/Documents" -every week -weekday "mo, we, fr" -at "02:00"

The following command creates a restore plan that is scheduled to execute on the first day of every month at 6 a.m. starting from May 1st, 2018:
