To get around this (multiple calendar backups are weighted the same in the nbpem scheduler) I have set all of my less frequent backups to trigger 10 minutes earlier.
For example:
normal daily backup is 10pm-2am (frequency based 8 hours)
monthly backup 10pm-2am (calendar, last day of the month)
yearly 9:50pm-2am (calendar, last day of the year)
this works well for me.
Cheers,
Nic

My understanding with calendar based backups is that only one schedule can run within a day. This has been verified with early releases of 6.5. Now in 7.1 I have seen two calendar schedules run on the same day but not at the same time. The second to run basically waited the first one to finish.
Now apparently in your case Smitha, the jobs for the second schedule failed then you should be able to catch the error :o)

Hi,
If you don’t get any luck to get a script, please make use of the “Exclude Dates” which works like a wonder, I’ve got exactly the same schedules whereby at the end of March I’m running a yearly backup instead of a monthly. The monthly schedule is excluded at the end of March and the yearly one kicks in.

Environment - Netbackup 6.5.5 running on sun Solaris using Calender based scheduling
Last day of December we had a situation, where we had both monthly and yearly backup scheduled to be run on the same day , and while the monthly backup was running , the yearly backup ran out of the backup window and so the yearly backup never got triggered .
When a audit was ran , we discovered that the yearly backup never ran -- So now,I was hoping that one of you Netbackup Guru's might help me with some kind of alert/monitoring script that will notify us when a particular scheduled backup which was suppose to be ran on a particular day doesn't run ?
Thanks in Advance!!!
