"Don't do that. It's a bad idea to change the Wakeup Schedule, and it's a *very* good idea to have the first WakeupSchedule entry be *outside* of your backup window. (I suggest 10 A.M., but it doesn't matter as long as it's some time when the backups will not be running.) The nightly jobs run then, and you *really* don't want them interfering with your backups-- or vice versa.
You make sure that your backup server does not run backups when you don't want it to with blackout periods, which you're doing. Messing with the Wakeup Schedule will have unintended consequences, and won't help you if you properly configure your blackout periods, anwyay!" Interesting. I never changed the WakeupSchedule. I inherited this system a couple of year ago when I came on board and haven't really changed anything since it all has been working. I familiarized myself with the software and made sure that I was comfortable with what was happening when, why and how. I've added systems as we've turned up new servers and deleted them as we've decommisioned servers. Beyond that, I've left it pretty much alone. I'm a big believer in, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Now we're in the middle of some fairly significant changes to our infrastructure so I get to mess around with the server config. So are you recommending that I go back to the default WakeupSchedule but rotated around so that it starts at 10?
