I support a 24x7 research facility, so the start windows are driven by our 
operational schedule. 8:00 am Tuesday to 8:00 am Wednesday is a maintenance 
period, so I run full backups then to minimize impact on system performacne 
during operations. Currently, a full backup can take up to 48 hours to complete 
(more drives on order ;) ) 

Incrimentals must necessarily run while we're in operation, and 6:00 pm to 
midnight is typically the period of lowest demand on the servers.

Full and incremental schedules are in the same policy.

Is it necessary for the start windows to match exactly, or is it enough for the 
start time of the window to be the same?  Since my full window is currently 24 
hours, making the incrimental window the same would cover 24x7
