All,

I have one particular backup class that I only want to run weekly on 
Friday nights. I have the schedule set up to be from Friday at 17:30 thru 
Saturday night at 24:00. But it looks like this backup class is just 
running any and every time in that window when a tape drive becomes 
available. Obviously, this is wasting tape resources.

I think I tried shrinking the backup window and got it so that it only ran 
once, but then when I reopened the window as defined above, seems like it 
started backing up multiple times again. I reopened it cause I did not 
really want just the small window because, obviously, if drives were busy 
and that window passed, I would miss that weeks' backups.

Help!
