Is there some restriction to the time you can set a backup job to start, even within the backup window? I have two jobs on one VDP. The daily job I set for 5PM (maint. window is 6AM-5PM), and I am trying to set the other (a weekly job) to 6PM, but every time I do that it changes the time on it back to 10PM! VERY frustrating... I had the same problem when trying to set the job for 5PM (the time I REALLY would prefer), but I figured that wasn't working because it just didn't like both jobs being set to the same time.
Also, why is there not a way to set a job to be performed on certain days of the week? For instance, I do not want my daily job to run on Saturdays, but with VDP it's all or nothing with the daily, weekly, and monthly options. The reason I need it to not perform the daily backup job on Saturdays is because I have to back up an SQL DB VM on Saturday, and for some reason backing up SQL VMs seems to take a MUCH longer time than normal ones, especially if other backups are running at the same time.
Which leads me to ANOTHER problem.... My backups simply are not completing in time. It seems to usually only be the SQL ones that run MUCH slower as I mentioned, but occasionally that causes one of the other backups to not complete either. Are you telling me that if a backup cannot be completed within the backup window then it cannot be completed at all?? That's ludicrous. The backup system just simply isn't available during the maintenance window? That effectively makes it useless 50% of the day (if maint. windows set to 12 hours, which it seems like it needs to be in order to complete it's tasks).
