Scheduling wise
Hi Gurus,
We are on a planning stage and wanted to ask help or any recommendation as to how we can set the proper timing for the schedules. I know that setting time in "start window" means its the start of backup window and not the actual start of the backup. We tried to create 5 policies with the same "start window" and it actually all starts at the same time we set. So since there will be a hundreds of policy, we think that scheduling them in this way (sample below) will give us a better performance at load-balance.
Policy1-10 - start of backup will be 7:00PM
Policy 11-20 - start of backup will be 7:15PM
Policy 21-30 - start of backup will be 7:30PM and so on..
What we wanted is to set intervals like the example.
Can someone tell us how we can achieve this? Or
Setting the "start window" to this timing is already fine?
Setup:
Master - 1x
Media - 2x
Direction of data will initially be to dedup pool with max of 15 concurrent jobs each media.

The fact is some poeple worry about this type of thing, and some do not. With thousands of backup clients across hundreds of backup policies, then your actual active job count will be dependent upon the max concurrent write streams of the storage units that are being written to. My advice would be to monitor your system and then decide. i.e. if the CPU of your master goes crazy at 19:00 when thousands of backup jobs get queued up, then you know it's time to split the scheduling.
