Backup Exec job design duplicate jobs

Hi everyone, In the last 10 years I used different Backup Exec Version up to BE 2010 R3. Now I am in a new Backup Project with Backup Exec 15 and I'm a bit shocked about the changes of the version...

    Hi Colin,

    Thanks for your great answer. I now found out that it is possible to add multiple duplicate jobs parallel in one stage... Before your answer I thougth it is only possible to define them in series (one behind the other). I now defined the backups like this:

    Here the details for the weekly and monthly duplicate job:

    You metioned: "the job with the lowest repeat frequency (longest interval between runnning)  will run and the others will be rescheduled"

    I see this statement in the Backup to Disk Options window aswell. But does that apply to dupplicate jobs aswell? So in my case, only one duplicate to tape job would run on saturday 15:00?

    Any other comments to my settings? Or do you think I designed it properly?

    Thanks for your help.
