Window tab of the Storage Operation dialog box
The Window tab appears for secondary operations in a storage lifecycle policy.
Creating a window for a secondary operation is optional. However, creating a window can better define when the job for the operation can run. In this way, the job from a secondary operation does not interfere with jobs of a higher priority, such as backup jobs. Without a window defined, the job for an operation can run at any time, on any day.
