Yes - and be aware that the frequency is measured from when
the backup ends!
I use 5 days on my "weekly" backups, and 12 hours on my
nightly's. :-)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] 'Frequency' schedule type
Hi,
I'm trying to
understand how this actually works as I think it works a little differently from
how I thought it worked. We have a couple of polices that do a full backup
weekly, with the frequency set to 1 week. However, the jobs didn't run on the
weekend; there were no errors, they just didn't run.
The only reason I
can think of this happening is the job falling outside of the start window. From
what I've read, the frequency is the minimum amount of tim that must pass before
the next schedule runs, which means that we should probably set the weekly jobs
to having a frequency of 6 days to avoid it falling outside the start window.
Would this be correct?
Cheers,
