What's your Schedule Randomization percentage and what is the backup window for this schedule? If I recall correctly randomization is for every schedule even if it only runs on one node. And the ramdomization starts from the moment the nodes connect to the server not from the start of the window.
backup window is 4 hours. schedule starts at 1 AM randomization is set to 25% node connects at 230 AM schedules will start between 230 and 330 AM. Could this be it?

The client scheduler is polling and at 1:05 PM it updated, and said the schedule would start in 33 minutes. What causes a schedule to execute a time later than scheduled? I am aware of staggered starts for scheduled events, but this is the only thing scheduled at this time and nothing else is running on the server. Any ideas?
