Example of schedule duration
This example illustrates the effect of schedule duration on two full backup schedules. The start time for Schedule B begins shortly after the end time for the previous Schedule A. Both schedules have three buckets/containers with backups due.
The diagram illustrates the following points:
Point 1 | The bucket/container A3 starts within the Schedule A time window but does not complete until after the Schedule B start time. However, the bucket/container A3 runs to completion even if the window closes while the backup is running. Bucket/container B1, on Schedule B, begins as soon as bucket/container A3 completes. |
Point 2 | Schedule A does not leave enough time for all the bucket/containers on Schedule B to be backed up. Consequently, the bucket/container B3 is unable to start because the time window has closed. The bucket/container B3 must wait until the next time NetBackup runs Schedule B. |
