Been having some issues with backups this week so I deleted the jobs and recreated them. I have one question concerning scheduling. Under the scheduling tab -> General options -> Time Window you can set the "start no earlier than" and the "no later than" time. By setting the "start no earlier" time that doesnt imply to start at that time does it? Well maybe for the first job, but I have two that run back to back on this server, so do I need to set the start time for the second to occur when I think the 1st backup will finish? Or does it really matter? I have the first to start at 7pm and the second to start "no later" than 11pm. The first wont be finished by then, but will the second one try to kick in or will it wait for the first to stop? Thanks for all the help!

I set a 5 minute difference between the start and no later then times. Not sure their reason for this option, maybe to allow extra time in case the server is very busy. I believe it will queue then next job, but not 100% sure.
