Re: Really Stop execution dialog box

Hi Gary,

Check your energy saver control panel - make sure it is set to never go to
sleep, and check the schedule to make sure you have no automatic shutdown
scheduled.

 On many mornings, I will come in and find a dialog box on the server that
 says "Do you really want to quit or stop backups" with a OK or resume
 button. At this point, no backups have occured. If I click resume, backups
 start (which can be a problem on the servers if they take long or I get in
 late). If I click cancel, then no backups occur.

  Our Retrospect server is also connected to a KVM - in our case, an 
OmniView 8-port. I've found that if I leave the KVM tuned to 
*anything* over the weekend, that system will have had fits when I 
come in in the morning. This used to especially hose the backup 
server. For some reason, when it's not being watched, the KVM throws 
some funky signals down the wires.

  Our solution was to make sure that the KVM is switched to a null 
port (We have 4 devices, the switch is usually set to monitor #5) 
unless it's in use, and be *absolutely* sure that it's on 5 when we 
leave on Friday. It's worked for about 4 months now.
