Example application backup schedule
Assume the following:
Users perform database backup operations during business hours, 08:00 to 13:00.
The automatic backups that use this policy start between 18:00 and 22:00.
In this scenario, the application backup schedule must have a start time of 0800 and a duration of 14 hours. Alternatively, the schedule can have two windows each day; one with a start time of 0800 and duration of 5 hours, and another with a start time of 1800 and a duration of 4 hours.
