You could always set the time on the master server ahead, so midnight
matches your normal start time. :-)

If you are using Netbackup 6.0 you can not have your start window cross
midnight. I was told that it is bad practice. I think Netbackup has
gone goofy.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] whats wrong with my calendar based backup
schedule.bppllist included.
I have years of experience with frequency based scheduling but I have
always shied away from calendar based. Today I made my first attempt and
I cannot see where I made a mistake. Please review this and help me if
you can. Thanks.
Here is the problem
The calendar based backup started on the first day that I made this
policy active even though it is not suppose to be active until the last
Monday of the month.
Here is the strategy
1. full backup every monday night excluding last monday of the month
with 1 month retention
allow tuesday full for any failures that may occur on monday
3. last monday of each month run a calendar full backup with 3 month
retention
retries allowed after runday which would be tuesday night.
2. incremental backup every night except monday nights with 1 month
retention
