To create a schedule window

1. In the Start Window tab of the New or Change Schedule dialog box, position the cursor over the day and time when you'd like the time window to open. The Time at cursor field corresponds to the current position of the cursor.

   Move the cursor to change the value.

   

   To set the resolution for start or end time settings, change the value in the Resolution field. For example, a resolution of 10 minutes allows time window adjustments by 10-minute increments.

2. When the cursor is over the chosen start time, press the left mouse button. Drag the cursor to the day and time when the window is to close.

   Release the button and the fields display the following information:

   • The Modify Day and Start Time fields display the day and time the time window opens.

   • The End Day and End Time fields display the time that the time window closes.

   • The Duration indicates the scope of the time window that is based on the start time and the end date and times.

   Specify enough time to allow all clients in the policy to complete a backup.

   Consider allowing extra time in the schedule in case the schedule starts late due to factors outside of NetBackup. (Delays due to unavailable devices, for example.) Otherwise, all backups may not have a chance to start.

3. Click OK to save the completed schedule.
