Example of schedule duration
Figure: Duration 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 clients with backups due.
Figure: Duration example illustrates the following points:
Point 1 | Client A3 starts within the Schedule A time window but doesn't complete until after the Schedule B start time. However, Client A3 runs to completion even if the window closes while the backup is running. Client B1, on Schedule B, begins as soon as Client A3 completes. |
Point2 | Schedule A does not leave enough time for all the clients on Schedule B to be backed up. Consequently, Client B3 is unable to start because the time window has closed. Client B3 must wait until the next time NetBackup runs Schedule B. |
