Example of schedule duration
This example illustrates the effect of schedule duration on two full backup schedules. The start time for Schedule B begins shortly after the end time for the previous Schedule A. Both schedules have three arrays with backups due.
The diagram illustrates the following points:
Point 1 | Array A3 starts within the Schedule A time window but doesn't complete until after the Schedule B start time. However, Array A3 runs to completion even if the window closes while the backup is running. Array B1, on Schedule B, begins as soon as Array A3 completes. |
Point 2 | Schedule A does not leave enough time for all the Arrays on Schedule B to be backed up. Consequently, Array B3 is unable to start because the time window has closed. Array B3 must wait until the next time NetBackup runs Schedule B. |
