Backup collection tasks

Most collection tasks run between every 20 minutes to 24 hours. However, one collection task, the Backup Job Completed Event, can post data several times a second at the height of the backup window, thereby setting the historical period for posting data to a very short interval. Subsequently, when the backup window is closed and no backups are being performed, the status monitoring might indicate an alert for this data collection component. If you have a backup window with heavy activity and then no or little activity, you may encounter some false positives for this component. If this component indicates it has not captured any data for more than 24 hours, then the component likely indicates an issue that requires investigation.
