[Veritas-bu] Multiple Schedules Per Day

This method still 'confuses me' (which sometimes isn't difficult).  Weh
have the same type of issue.  We have eight policies that require
Incrumentials be run at noon (1200) and at midnight (0000).  When I try
to set them up we get runs jumping in at al time of the day and night!
How would you configure a dual Incremential in one policy?

Thank you,

You can create a long window backup with a short frequency.  For
example, 12 hour window, opened at 8:00 with a 7 hour frequency would
trigger at both 8:00 am and 7 hours later at 3:00 pm.  It wouldn't
trigger again until 8:00 am since the window would close before the 14th
hour frequency became available again.

Hard to say - easy to implement.

Some of my clients require multiple backup windows per day.  For
instance, they will run a backup at 8:00 am, and 3:00 pm every day.  Up
to now, we have been handling this using multiple policies, since when
we setup two windows for the same day on a calendar based schedule the
job only ran 1 time a day.  I would guess that the only way to achieve
this would be with a frequency based schedule, but I'm wondering if the
calendar schedule can be made to run more than once a day. 

The reasoning behind consolidating the policies is two-fold.  One, to
reduce the number of policies, and two, to be able to accomplish
accurate incremental backups.
