Hi Karen, Yes, we have seen this but on a different version. We are running 5.1.1 on Windows 2000 SP2. Clients are also 5.1.1 on Windows SP2 and NT4 SP6a. The NT clients never seem to have this problem for us, but the W2k ones do so on a fairly frequent basis. (i.e. couple times a month or so) Also in our case, though the service says "started", the backup stops at some random point mid-way through the process as if hung. I am curious to see if anyone has seen/fix for this...
The act of it starting back up and outside the window, as I understand it, is by design. The window (or duration as its called) only specifies the time inside which the backup must start. If started within that time, it will run to completion regardless of how long it takes, unless you cancel it of course. I think what happens is the server believes this to be a backup still "in progress" and restarts it when it sees the clients' service stop. If I am incorrect, I am certain someone in this fine group will let me know!

The scheduler is set to "manual" so the Managed Services starts it at the appropriate time. Intermittently, on various servers the "TSM Scheduler Service" remains in the state of "STARTED", but the Client Schedule shows missed. When we go to the client and stop the "TSM Scheduler Service", the Scheduled backup starts up outside of it's window. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
