    Your weekly and monthly schedules are calendar based .. so do bear in mind that your window crossing midnight may not be valid as if it is set to run on a Friday then it only actually has from 7pm Friday to midnight to work - any window after that is not valid as saturday and sunday are different days as far a calendar scheduling goes

    Having said that your jobs seem to fail quicker than that which does suggest a possible schedule corruption

    So i would suggest trying the following:

    1. delete the current schedules

    2. create new schedules that are set to run on 1st Saturday for the Monthly and all other Saturdays for the Weekly backups

    3. Set the start window from 00:10 on Saturday to 23:50 on Saturday (no point in wrapping to ther days with calendar based scheduling unless you allow to run after rundday which just causes other issues)

    See if the jobs now work
