see the active monitor,
selected jobs are in the same window;

[Marianne]

Which Schedule ran twice? And When?

You have 2 schedules in this policy :

1. Full that seems to be scheduled for every day of the week but only open window  between Saturday night and Sunday night and goes to STU Midias_Server_Lnx.
2. Full_Diario -  every day of the week is also selected but backup windows are open Sun - Fri between 10pm and 9am the next morning. This schedule will go to SLP SLP_LNX_DUPLICA_P_DB

Both schedules are Calendar based that cross midnight.
There used to be warnings in NBU Admin Guide (have not checked recent versions) about Calendar backups that cross midnight and Rundays selected for both days (before and after midnight). This would cause the backup to run before midnight and after midnight again.
Not sure if this is still the same in NBU 7.7.

If you tell us which schedule and when, it will help to troubleshoot.
Also tell us if this was a 'once off' or every day? 

[Heron_Batista]

I note that is run jobs up in duplicate in the same window/schedule.

Usually it happened between Friday and Saturday.

see the Active Monitor figure in the post above. Sorry for the default setting Portuguese in Brazil.

[Marianne]

Apologies - you posted the screenshot while I was typing up the post above.

Yes - it seems that the Calendar schedules crossing midnight are running before midnight and again after midnight because in reality the backups run on different days.

I am 'old school' and prefer to use Frequency schedules for Daily and Weekly backups.
I only ever use Calendar for schedules such as Monthly or Yearly that is difficult/impossible to schedule with Frequency.

One possible solution might be to change backup windows to either before or after midnight.

Hopefully other Calendar users have better advice on how to fix this.

[sankar_28 · Accepted solution]

Hi Heron,

Could you confirm that you are running the schedule "Full_Diario" only on Sunday to friday not on saturday.

If its so, then you should remove selection on saturday on the Calendar.( select only sunday to friday)

As you have selected the saturday in calendar for "Full_Diario" schedule it will look for the open window for that day, so the backup will start run before 9.00 as there was open window selected on saturday from 00:00 hrs to 9:00 as per calendar schedule.

This is the reason you might have two backup on friday night & saturday morning since the friday backup completed with in backup window and there was open window for saturday schedule, but you might thought you have selected backup Daily Windows only for friday and not for saturday,

[Heron_Batista]

Hi Sankar_28,

Thank you tip, I never thought it !!!
I made the settings you specified, but now I ask you:

Why not place the problems on other days of the week ???
Why only from Friday to Saturday ???

Hi Sankar_28,

[sankar_28]

Hi, 

As per my observation the calendar schedule  will look for start time of open window each day which is 22:00  for the days from sunay to friday, but for saturday if the calendar schedule looks the open window there was open window present on 00:00 to 09:00 hours.

so for saturday the backup start time of open window will be consider as 00:00 hours as open window present for that day is from 00:00 to 09:00 hours, as there was no start time as 22:00 as like other days.

Kindly let me know if its works for this week.

[Heron_Batista]

Ok!! everything working!!
thank you.
