Hi Team My daily and weekly backups are running succssfully. But unfortunately, last week full backup jobs( Fridaby and Saturday backups) are not at all started. And i couldn't find any errors messa...

My guess as to what the problem is...
It appears the policies are frequency based and allow running 1 time every 7 days:
Saturday_full
SCHED Saturday_Full 0 1 604800
RMR_Weekly_Backup
SCHED Friday_Full 0 1 604800
*** 604800 = 1 week (60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 7 days)
If you ran a manual full backup any time during the week, the scheduler would not run another backup until the following weekend (or when a week has elapsed).
If it's not uncommon for backups to be run manually, I would suggest that you set the frequency to something less than one week / once every seven days, but not less than the duration of the window. I.e. if the window is open for 24 hours, make sure that you set the frequency to something more than once per 24 hours, such as once every 25 hours. That will prevent the backup from running twice in a window, and will allow the backup to the due whenever the window opens.
Hi Deb
As per your analasys i have attached Friday and Saturday policy screen shots. Please check and suggest me what needs to be done?
Note: Friday backup schedule start at 9PM and end by 8PM ( Duration is 23hrs)
Saturday backup schedule start at 9PM and end by 9PM ( Duration is 24hrs)

I would suggest setting your freqnecy to once every two days. That would allow weekend backups to run automatically unless a backup was manually initiated within the last day or so.

In addition to above excellent posts, please have a look at David Chapa's article on Frequency based scheduling:

Hi All
Thx for your help.
Still I have a query. Earlier i had run manual weekly backups many times and i never faced above issue as it was run successfully without interuption for next week backups. That time also frequece was 7 days only.
But i am not sure why it hasn't run this time.
