Aha - little did I know I'd be opening up a can of proverbial worms. It
seems that at the very least Symantec/VERITAS need to update the
documentation; to me it implies that it is the end of the backup job,
although it doesn't explicitly say this.
I too took the Admin class but can't remember what was said but the
course manual does say:
"Frequency
Select the frequency radio button to enable administrators to specify
how much time must elapse between the successful completion of a
scheduled task and the next attempt at the task"

For me the word 'completion' is what implies that it's at the end; if
this is wrong or misleading then it needs to be changed.

Cheers,

Tim

My source is from the NetBackup Administration classes I have taken.  If
it is indeed false, then Symantec needs to retrain their teaching staff.
