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 it...

    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.

what were looking at is actually minimizing the rework that is why we're torn between scheduling the backups with the same 'start window' or split the schedules but i guess its inevitable. But you have a good point. We'll never know its (master) capacity until we see the outcome of what we've done.

But i'm pretty sure there will be spike in the CPU of our Master if we set all schedule at once. 

Thanks for the advice @sdo.. we'll try that approach. Cheers!! :)
