For example, the Full Data Management operation will not allow full backup jobs to run during the specified blackout window. The Non Full Data Management operation will do the same for non full backup jobs, for example, differential backups.
* The blackout window for auxiliary copy can be enabled on the MediaAgent or the client level and it is honored when the Performing an Auxiliary Copy Operation option is enabled. However, the blackout window might not be honored and the auxiliary copy operation might still run, if the CommCell Console from where the blackout window is enabled on the MediaAgent and the CommServe are in different time zones.
