There are two things that control when your backups start.  First is the
"frequency" you set for the class.  The frequency sets how often a backup
should run.  If your frequency is set to two days, then the backup attempts
to run every two days.  The second part of the control mechanism is the
"windows" that you create within the schedule.  These are set with a start
time and duration for each day of the week.  These tell NetBackup when it is
allowed to start this particular class.  So here's a simple example.  Let's
say you have windows set seven days a week, that start at 1800hrs with a
duration of 6 hours.  Then you have a frequency of two days.  That backup
will run every two days around 1800hrs.  So check your windows and frequency
to see where the problem is.
