Fouth week Vs. Last week backup sechdule

If I have a job set to run on wednesday of the fourth week and a job to run on the last week of the month and there are only four weeks in the month which will run?

Since they will both meet the criteria you've specified for them to run they will both run. BEWS has no way to know if they are effectively the same job, and only one is required.

What if it was one job that was set to run on the fourth week and the last week. On a month with four week would it only run once? On a month with five weeks would it run both the fourth week and the fifth week?

[Keith_Langmead]

Yes that's right, just did a quick test here, and if you create a job for the fourth and last Wednesday of the month (eg tonight in both cases), you'll see there is only job generated.

When BEWS finishes a recurring job, it calculates the next time it is due to run. Even if the job has two elements which point to the same time and date it doesn't matter, since by the time that first job has completed, the next due date will be the following Wednesday in this case, not a time in the past.

Thanks for the info.
