This is interesting.....I will be doing some testing on this!

My weekly backup window starts at 20:00 on Friday night, and is open
untill 05:00 Sunday.
I'va had all of my Monthlies complete by the wee hours of Saturday
morning, and not seen weeklies kick off after that.....Definately some
I'll be checking out!
