Hi David,

What I do is to have one policy per server. Within that policy, I
setup the daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and ad-hoc backups. 

I use the calendar function to ensure that I do not have any clashes.
I sometimes set an earlier start time for the weekly, monthly etc.
where the backups my run longer.

David
My thoughts exactly - more so, was making sure the WINDOW for both
Monthly
and full are SET the same - otherwise I kinda thought this in itself
could
cause an issue and start off a schedule I did not want to start :-)

Thank you for your help on this matter

Adding the Monthly schedule to the existing policy containing the
Weekly and
Daily schedules will not result in both running at the same time.
Frequency
based scheduling does just that, it give priority to the schedule that
runs
on the _least_ frequent schedule.  So, if there is a conflict between
the
Monthly and the Weekly, the Monthly will win. Having them in separate
policies _guarantees_ they will _always_ try to run at the same time.
Having them in the _same_ policy is specifically intended to manage it
for
you so they don't.  Of course, you will need to play with it to make
sure it
does what you think it's supposed to do
:-)
