Re: [Veritas-bu] whats wrong with my calendar based backup schedule.bppllist included.
If you are using Netbackup 6.0 you can not have your start window cross midnight. I was told that it is bad practice.

Re: [Veritas-bu] whats wrong with my calendar based backup schedule.bppllist included.
What version of NBU ... the early Calendar based jobs (4.5ish) had some bugs with the logic. As far as having Calendar based schedules crossing midnight you should not do that. I don't think its goofy, it just defats the purpose of Calendar based Schedules. You told NBU that you want it to run on a certain day, well after Midnight it is no longer that day. Also you should read up on the setting allow Retry after Run day Its hard to say exactly what happened without more detail but it maybe that the backup that kicked off right away was from the Freq based Schedule: 17.30_mon_full or 17.30_mon_inc since they are open each day.

Re: [Veritas-bu] whats wrong with my calendar based backup schedule.bppllist included.
Title: Message
retry after runday means "anytime after" the
defined runday...not just the next day.
so when you createa new policy, or add
a client to an existing policy, the first time tha backup runs, it hits all
schedules to see which takes precidence.if your monthly/quarterly exists,
then it is probably the highest priority, unless you've got a yearly, so it tries to run..you
wouldn't expect it to, since you configured it for the last of the month, but
since "allow tries after run day" is selected, it assumes today is after run
day, since there is no existsing image for this schedule in the last
month/quarter, or whatever.
I think this is "by design", rather than a
bug.

Hi Bob
We had a similar
problem with our quarterly backup. It should only run 4 times a year but tried
to run instead of the weekly backup for any new servers added toa
policy. Removing 'Allowed to retry after run day' seemed to cure the
problem.

I have years of experience with frequency based scheduling but I have
always shied away from calendar based. Today I made my first attempt and I
cannot see where I made a mistake. Please review this and help me if you
