Re: [Veritas-bu] Strange schedule problem
Seems this did the trick but was a last resort. Hopefully people will remember the old policy name should they wish to restore :) Very odd why it happened all of a sudden though. cheers to all Troy Schuler wrote: Recreate the policy with a new name. NBU has problems periodically from release to release with this. The only workaround was to delete the policy and recreate it with a completely different name. Do not copy the policy to a new policy.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Strange schedule problem
Not an Upgrade to 6 reply. I had the same thing happen on 6.5.2. What it was, was that I had a weird exception date in my schedules. The date was from 1969. Do you have an exception to not run on a day in 1969? Is so, delete it. Sounds weird, but it worked for me.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Strange schedule problem
I remember running into a problem when I was still running 6.0 (MP1 or 2 - been awhile) where it would just stop doing scheduled jobs out of the blue. This was a standalone master/media server, but in order to get it working again I had to stop/start all the NetBackup processes. I ended up scheduling via cron a job to do that just to keep the backups running until I could upgrade to NBU 6.5 (which didn't have this problem). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Markham Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 9:05 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Strange schedule problem Guys i have Master server (NBU 6.0MP4) and a number of media servers and clients.
