Yes - this is a known bug.  It is actually a series of three separate problems
that are not yet completely resolved yet.  Polling method behaves exactly as
you described; there are a series of keys, such as ctrl, esc, etc that cause
it to go to sleep.  If you don't wake it up, it will miss the scheduled
backup.  If you minimize the DOS window, the problem still can occur if you
hit caps lock.

The solution suggested was to use prompted scheduling, but this doesn't work e
ither under the level 3 client.

Prompted scheduling does work under the level 5 client, but the install
problems have been well documented.  The polling schedule process problems
with going to sleep is still an open problem.

Subject: Windows 95 Client seems to go to sleep
10-31-96 04:37 PM

I have installed the new 32 bit client for Windows 95.  When I run
the schedule option the Dos window pops up with the schedule info and
the timer starts to tick down to backup start time.  If I switch to a
different application and then return to the ADSM scheduler window,
the timer appears to be stopped.  As soon as I hit a key, the timer
displays the correct time to backup and proceeds to decrement the
timer again.  If I am not in the scheduler windows at the time of the
scheduled backup, it will not run unless I return to the Window and
hit enter.

Any ideas?  Has anybody seen this before?

Thanks for any feedback, Peter
