What version of NBU ... the early Calendar based jobs (4.5ish) had some bugs with the logic.
As far as having Calendar based schedules crossing midnight you should not do that. I don't think its goofy, it just defats the purpose of Calendar based Schedules. You told NBU that you want it to run on a certain day, well after Midnight it is no longer that day.
Also you should read up on the setting "allow Retry after Run day"
Its hard to say exactly what happened without more detail but it maybe that the backup that kicked off right away was from the Freq based Schedule: 17.30_mon_full or 17.30_mon_inc since they are open each day.
Hope that helps

Subject: [Veritas-bu] whats wrong with my calendar based backup schedule.bppllist included.I have years of experience with frequency based scheduling but I have always shied away from calendar based. Today I made my first attempt and I cannot see where I made a mistake. Please review this and help me if you can. Thanks.Here is the problem
The calendar based backup started on the first day that I made this policy active even though it is not suppose to be active until the last Monday of the month.Here is the strategy
1. full backup every monday night excluding last monday of the month with 1 month retention
allow tuesday full for any failures that may occur on monday
3. last monday of each month run a calendar full backup with 3 month retention
retries allowed after runday which would be tuesday night.
2. incremental backup every night except monday nights with 1 month retentionHere is the bppllist:
