Backup Exec has trouble handling schedules when Daylight Savings starts & stops.  This has been a problem since at least  Backup Exec 7, and continues with all versions though Backup Exec 12.

For example, in the United States, Daylight Savings starts the 2nd Sunday in March (clocks move forward 1 hour), and ends the 1st Sunday in November (clocks move back 1 hour).  Both changes happen at 2:00am.
