Set the frequency to 1 hour greater than the window.
Example...for a policy with a 10 hour window set the frequency to 11 hours.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Getting Back On Schedule - Scheduled jobs not running
on time...

All,
        I have the following config.

NB 5.0 MP1 (Enterprise)
Win 2K3 = Master Server (SSO)
Win 2000 = Media Servers (SSO)
SSO = ATL P7000 7 SDLT Drives
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 & Windows 2003 server clients = 48 Policy 1 =
Scheduled 4:00pm (10hr. window) - 12 Clients (Small & Medium Sized 18gb -
146gb) Policy 2 = Scheduled 7:00pm (10hr. window) - 12 Clients (Small &
Medium Sized 18gb - 146gb) Policy 3 = Scheduled 9:00pm (10hr. window) - 10
Clients (Small & Medium Sized 18gb - 146gb) Policy 4 = Scheduled 11:00pm
(10hr. window) - 6 Clients (Large Sized 146gb - 380gb +)<-- Media servers
backing up self Policy 5 = Scheduled 12:00am (10hr. window) - 8 Clients
(Large Sized 146gb - 380gb +)<-- Media servers backing up self

Had errors that prevented the completion of scheduled policy backups on
multiple occasions. Now all scheduled jobs do not start at scheduled times,
they all start @ 12:00am. I assume this is because they already ran earlier
in the day (AM)...

My question is: Is there a way to trick NB 5.0 into thinking the jobs have
not run, so I can get the jobs back on schedule??? During full backups I get
a lot of network errors and job failures, during incrementals I have
successful completions. This appears to be related to saturated 100mb full
duplex switched network connection (i.e. 48 Clients/Media Servers all trying
to communicate with Master Server)
