It terminated because the next day is not a Run day. With a calendar backup, 
the checked day(s) denote the run day.

In the case you just asked about, if say Friday AND Saturday are checked.... 
this will lead to an intended or unintended consequence because if the job 
finishes on Friday, the checkbox on Saturday will launch a new job backing up 
the same policy.

Its always where the job STARTS that matters, not where it ends.... NetBackup 
will never cancel a job at the end of the window, only deny new ones from 
starting.

Thanks Matt for that wonderful explanation.  Just to clarify...  so what was
the real reason the job exited with status "196"?  because it reached the end
of the day (midnight) or because the next day wasn't a runday?

Imagine this same scenario..if Saturday is also a runday... will the queued
job exit at midnight with "196" (even though Saturday is runday) and then NB
will launch a new job at midnight right?

thanks,
Jorge
