When setting up the time during which a task runs, you can enter a time window that extends past midnight and into the next day. Bear in mind, however, that this may change the days on which the task runs. For example, if you schedule a task to run every Friday between 8:00 PM and 4:00 AM, it’s possible for the task to run on Saturday morning sometime before or at 4:00 AM. If you don’t want the task to run on Saturday, you must alter the time window, for example, by changing the ending value from 4:00 AM to 11:59:59 PM. Then, the task is confined to one day. When a time window crosses midnight, the start time is later in the day than the end time.
Backup Exec considers both the job’s time window and the resource’s availability window when it runs a job. If you schedule a job to run outside of the availability window, it does not run. Backup Exec displays an Invalid Schedule status for the job on the Job Monitor. When you schedule a job, be sure that the job’s time window is within the availability window for the resources.
See Priority and Availability backup options.

|
Do not delete the job |
