Originally we had Daily and Weekly schedules - life was simple.  We used 
frequency based backups and had backup windows for Monday through Saturday for 
Daily backups and a backup window for Sunday for the Weekly backups.

When we tried to introduce Monthly backups, we setup calender based backups - 
Monthly backups occur on the first Sunday of the Month, Weekly backups on the 
other Sundays in the Month (Sunday 2, 3, 4 & 5).  Daily backups on Mondays to 
Saturdays.  We then noticed that we were getting two backups a night - one 
kicked off when the window openned and another occured after midnight.  We then 
switched the Daily backups back to Frequency based and things are working 
better but I've still got some problems with the calendar based backup (e.g. 
unable to use different pools for a MS SQL backup).

I've also read comments that frequency based backups are better than calendar 
based.

What's the best way to set up Daily, Weekly, and Monthly backups?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Roland.
