Simon,
 
I know what you're thinking, and it's not outside the realms of
possibility, but in this case I've checked this :)
 
We generally have Incremental backups Mon-Thurs, frequency of 12 hours
and Full backups Friday, frequency 3 days (we set these up deliberately
in case backups failed so they could be kicked off manually and still
not mess up the frequency 'window'.
 
I'm going to create a new policy (from scratch - it's not too much work)
on Friday and manually kick it off just before I go. Hopefully this will
resolve the issue. The reason I asked my question was because I was
trying to figure out if this new policy would carry on from the old one.
 
Cheers,
 
Tim

Tim
Daft question, but what are the Schedules set for in the Policy for the
Full and Incrementals?
 
for example, for your Incremental - goto the properties of the Schedule,
under the attributes tab, it should have a frequency set; what is this?
 
Also, same for the Full - what is this set for?
 
Have you now created a new policy, copy the OLD policy settings and
paste them into the NEWLY created policy perhaps?
 
Or better still, start afresh.
 
HTH

        It may be an obvious question but I ask it for a reason; we have
a policy that appears to be setup correctly and has run at some point
(using frequency) but neither the Full backups nor Incrementals backups
appear to want to run on their own anymore (presently, I'm having to
kick them off manually).
        I've tried deactivating then activating, but this hasn't
resolved the issue so I might create a new policy (with the same name)
and delete the old one. If I do this, will Incrementals carry on from
the last or Full backup on the previous policy or does it all start
again as it is a new policy (both polices will be exactly the same)?
        I'm newish to backup concepts and am guessing because of archive
bits, it may just continue form the old policy.
         
        Cheers,
