Scott,
Make one Backup Server script and include only the clients you wish to give
the option of daytime backups.
Include only one backup set. Including more than one is possible, but will
complicate things way too much.
Regarding your second issue, read the following, from the Retrospect User's
Guide:
While Backup Server is running, the Retrospect Event Handler sends a summary
e-mail every twelve hours. (If you prefer a different time interval, open
the script and change the property kSendBackupServerReport value to the
desired number of hours.) This summary e-mail contains the error and
success messages for each volume in the Backup Server script. It also
contains the error and success messages for regular scripts that run while
Backup Server is running.
NOTE: When you stop Backup Server, the events which occurred after the last
summary e-mail are not included in an e-mail.
Does this sound like what's happening in your situation?
