+If you do _not_ specify a start time for twenty-four or twelve hour backups, Redis Enterprise Software chooses a random starting time in UTC for you.
This choice assumes that your database is deployed to a multi-tenant cluster containing multiple databases. This means that default start times are staggered (offset) to ensure availability. This is done by calculating a random offset which specifies a number of seconds added to the start time.
