Joe:

That's not so weird!  I have a customer who wants to do the same thing!
It's a school and they have limited bandwidth between schools (T1) to do
their backups.  Initially the backups take several days to complete.

IBM has said that you need to downsize the amount backed up to accommodate
the time allocated.

I haven't found another method as yet.

Subject: [ADSM-L] weird request for schedule

Hello,

I have a customer who wants to run backup only during specific time
window; from 10pm to 4am.

That means when backup starts at 10pm, and runs until 4am, and even if
at 4am there are more files to be backed up, he wants backup to stop and
to be rescheduled for next backup cycle.

Any ideas appreciated.
