You can also create or adjust a backup window by using the Start and
End boxes. To do this, click on the day, time, or minute and then click the
arrows to set the desired value. To use the keyboard, tab to the Start box and
set it to the day where the window opens. Then use the up and down arrows
to set the Start and End times.
Specify enough time to allow all clients in the class to complete their
backups.
Also, allow extra time in case the schedule starts late due to factors such as
devices not being available. Otherwise, all backups may not be able to start.
The figure below shows two full-backup schedules, where the start time for
the second schedule is shortly after the end time for the previous schedule.
Both schedules have three clients with backups due.
Client A1
Client A2
Client A3
Client B1
Client B2
Schedule A
Schedule B
Client B3 is unable to start
because its backup window
Client A3 starts within the Schedule A backup
window but doesn’t complete until after the
Schedule B start time.
Client B3
has closed.
