Examples of repeating schedules
The following examples show how schedules work when they run more than once. For a schedule
created and enabled at 4:30 PM today, assuming today is Friday:
Notes
• Start/end dates and start/end times are inclusive. The last time a schedule can run is at the
scheduled end time on the scheduled end date.
• The start time and end time of a schedule must fall within the same day. If you want a
schedule to run repeatedly overnight, create two schedules. For example, to back up
databases hourly between 9:00 PM and 5:00 AM starting every Friday night and running
overnight, create one schedule that backs up every Friday, every hour, starting at 9:00 PM
and ending at 11:00 PM, and another schedule that backs up every Saturday, starting at
12:00 AM and ending at 5:00 AM.
