    I was hoping that you would download NBU Admin Guide as per my advice of 2 days ago and start to read up about NBU Frequency schedules.

    I will try to rephrase my answer :

    If 2 schedules are due at the same time (Weekly and Monthly), then NBU wil only submit the one with the lower frequency (4-weekly) and skip the Weekly schedule with 1-week schedule.

    This behaviour is documented in NBU 6.5 Admin Guide I under this topic:

    Backup frequency determines schedule priority

For Frequency schedules, the one with the lowest frequency (4 weeks) will run. How jobs are submitted for Frequency schedules is covered in NBU Admin Guide I. You can locate and download manuals from 'Handy NBU Links ' in my signature.
