When you create a backup selection list, you can specify the priority for processing the jobs that are associated with the selection list. In addition, you can set a time range when the resources in the list will be available for backup.
See Setting priority and availability windows for selection lists.

Job priority |
Displays the priority of the access to the devices for this job. See About job priority. |

Limit availability of this selection list for backup to the following daily time window |
Enables the availability window, which specifies when the selection list will be available for backup each day. If you do not select this option, the resources in the selection list are always available for backup. Backup Exec considers both the resource’s availability window and the job’s time 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 Schedule options. |
