What's your Schedule Randomization percentage and what is the backup
window for this schedule?  If I recall correctly randomization is for
every schedule even if it only runs on one node.  And the ramdomization
starts from the moment the nodes connect to the server not from the start
of the window.

backup window is 4 hours.
schedule starts at 1 AM
randomization is set to 25%
node connects at 230 AM
schedules will start between 230 and 330 AM.

Could this be it?

        Subject:        Delayed Schedule Start


        The below schedule was scheduled for 1 PM.  The client scheduler
is
polling and at 1:05 PM it updated, and said the schedule would start in 33
minutes.  What causes a schedule to execute a time later than scheduled? I
am aware of staggered starts for scheduled events, but this is the only
thing scheduled at this time and nothing else is running on the server.
Any
ideas?

Thanks,
Jon Martin
