How to force start time for Netbackup policy - confused newbie!

I understand the concept of Start Windows for NetBackup policies. What's throwing me off is that sometimes a job starts later in the start window than I expect. e.g. have a start window of 5pm to 5am...

    Is the "trick" to narrow down your start window to, say, 5pm-6pm to try to "force" a specific backup job to start within that 1 hour time period? Or is there some other best practice approach?

     

    Many thanks for any recommendations.


    wrong "trick" :smileyhappy:

     

    The "trick" is to set the frequency to a value slighty larger than the window.

    If you have a window of 5PM to 5AM which is 12 hours then set the frequency to 13 hours.
