I use 4 days on my Full Backups and 9 hours on my Incr - The Window is
SHORTER than these times. If they were longer, I would end up with multiple
backups in the same Window!
 
At least this way, if a full fails at the weekend and I re-run Monday the
frequency wont upset NBU when it goes to run on Friday/Saturday morning

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,
 
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?
 
Cheers,
