Yes - and be aware that the frequency is measured from when the backup =
ends!

I use 5 days on my "weekly" backups, and 12 hours on my nightly's. :-)

Hi,
=20
I'm trying to understand how this actually works as I think it works a =
little differently from how I thought it worked. We have a couple of =
polices that do a full backup weekly, with the frequency set to 1 week. =
However, the jobs didn't run on the weekend; there were no errors, they =
just didn't run.
The only reason I can think of this happening is the job falling outside =
of the start window. From what I've read, the frequency is the minimum =
amount of tim that must pass before the next schedule runs, which means =
that we should probably set the weekly jobs to having a frequency of 6 =
days to avoid it falling outside the start window. Would this be correct?
=20
Cheers,
