I've managed to work around this with clever scheduling. By setting reschedule on error to 1 hour, setting the backup to start at 9:00 AM and setting the system to reschedule 9 times, we get most of our mobile users most of the time that they are in. The upshot is that it tries to initiate a backup every hour between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Not the perfect solution, but it's working OK for us. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
