Question about policy scheduling
If we were given a window of time to complete all of our backups, say 10pm to 6am, would there be any harm just setting all of our policies start times to the same window? Obviously that would lead to all the policies kicking off and then queuing until drives were available, so basically my question is would that be a bad thing? Is there any harm in a large amount of jobs just sitting queued?
No harm in having jobs queued, but there may be depending on how many jobs could potentially be running at any one time (STU settings, max jobs per policy or client etc) - especially when the window first opens.
If resources are available to run the maximum number of jobs (e.g. media, drives etc) is your infrastructure capable of handling the load (e.g. network, clients, VM hosts or whatever) ?
