    I always find that a calendar schedule works well for weekly /monthly ones

    So diff is frequency based and runs say 6pm to 2am Sunday to Thursday with a frequency of 10 hours (the frequency must be just larger than the duration) with a retention of 2 weeks

    Monthly runs as calendar based on the first Saturday of the month - starting at 00:10 until 06:00 with a retention of 12 months (open on a Saturday only)

    Weekly runs on the second, third, fourth and last Saturday of the month - starting at 00:10 until 06:00 with a retention of 2 weeks (open on a Saturday only)

    It is done this way as you do not want calendar based jobs crossing midnight .. the Saturday job is in effect Friday nights backup

    Hope this makes sense and helps
