I was just informed that this doesn't work in 3.4 or 4.5.

I think I found a workaround...if that test fails. Now this should still
work in 3.4, I know it did in 3.2, not sure with 4.5.
Here we go.
If you change the frequency from 1 day to 0 and click okay to accept the
window, when you go back into that schedule to view/modify it will be set to
one second. So now you would be able to set your frequency for this
schedule in seconds. If you want the backups to start, no matter what, at
11pm and your window is 6 hours (closes at 5am), I would change your
frequency to 39,600 seconds (11 hours). So if you had manually kicked of a
job because of a failure at 2am, then the next time it will want to run is
2pm in the afternoon, however, the window doesn't open until 11pm, so it
will have to wait until there is an open window before starting the backup.
I plan on testing this when I get into the office this morning...

The patch is 34_2.
I'm running another test now. I had added a new
machine to the list of clients to back up, but didn't
add the Master Server to the client's bp.conf file. So
the Class failed to backup at 2:00 AM last night. I
fixed the problem, and am expecting the Class to back
up within a couple of hours. Then I'll see if the
schedule changes to this new time or resumes backing
up at 2:00 AM.
