Yes - and be aware that the frequency is measured from when the backup
ends!

I use 5 days on my "weekly" backups, and 12 hours on my nightly's. :-)

Hi,
=20
I'm trying to understand how this actually works as I think it works a
little differently from how I thought it worked. We have a couple of
polices that do a full backup weekly, with the frequency set to 1 week.
However, the jobs didn't run on the weekend; there were no errors, they
just didn't run.
The only reason I can think of this happening is the job falling outside
of the start window. From what I've read, the frequency is the minimum
amount of tim that must pass before the next schedule runs, which means
that we should probably set the weekly jobs to having a frequency of 6
days to avoid it falling outside the start window. Would this be
correct?
=20
Cheers,
