The **duration** attribute helps to determine the timestamp for last backup of the day.

For example, if the **start time** is “x AM” and **duration** is “y hours”, the backups will be scheduled between “x AM” and **schedule** attribute (x AM + y hours) as defined in the policy. This attribute enables you to ensure backups are only triggered during your working hours when there're frequent update operations on file share contents; therefore, taking multiple snapshots will safeguard data from any accidental changes.

Based on these values, the backup window is calculated as 9 AM – 9 AM + 12 hours, that is, 9 AM – 9 PM. Therefore, all backups will be scheduled within this window.

The first backup of the day is triggered at the start time mentioned in the policy, that is, 9 AM, and the **schedule** determines the time difference between consecutive backups, that is, 6 hours. With this calculation, your backup schedule would be: 9 AM, 1 PM (9 AM + 6 hours), 5 PM (1 PM + 6 hours), and 9 PM (5 PM + 6 hours).

Based on this configuration, the backup window will be: 12 PM – 3 AM (12 PM + 15 hours). Since the start and end times are falling on two different days, we recommend you adjust the **start time** or **duration** to ensure they are on the same day.
