NBU 7 multiple backups within backup window

[Evan]

Hey Guys,

I noticed this issue since i upgraded from 6.5.4 to 7.0: It seems that my backups are running multiple times throughout the night. I dont have multiple copies set or anything, but i see some policies fire off 3-5 times in one backup window. I thought that if it completes in the backup window it will then move on to another job from a different policy? Instead it seems to keep backing up withing the backup window. Does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening? I know that dedupe is a part of NBU 7, so, im wondering if it thinks it can fire off more backups because with dedupe, it wont take up a lot of space, but I've yet to enable that, so right now its chewing up tons of space and making me have to expire some images so that i dont run out of room. Let me know if you guys need more information.

Thanks!

Evan

This has happened to me before.

1) check your policy and see if the upgrade may have inadvertently made a change to it - checking your frequency.
2) disable the policy and re enable it to force it to re-read it.  There is a command for that as well but I don't remember it right now.
