“Backup Window”

“Backup Window An interval of time during which a set of data can be backed up without seriously affecting applications that use the data. For example, if an application accesses data from 8AM until midnight, then the window between midnight and 8AM is available for making backup copies. Offline backups require that applications not update data during the backup. Online backups typically use point-in-time copy technology to create consistent images of data for backup.”
