Hello Cindy,

If you are running version 3.1.0.0 of the Win32 client, I
urge you to run (don't walk) to the ADSM FTP site and pull down
and install 3.1.0.6. Problems at the 3.1.0.0 level of code
could possibly explain the trouble you are seeing. Even if
this is not the problem, I still strongly urge you to get to
this level.

When you see the client stop doing anything, does the session
actually stop? What does QUERY SESSION show?

If the 3.1.0.6 code does not resolve this, then it would be
helpful if you could include the entire DSMSCHED.LOG file from
the point where the messages about the next scheduled event
are shown ("Next operation scheduled") through the ending
statistics for that operation. Please also include DSM.OPT.

Best regards,

Andy

"The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked."

To all:

Just recently an ADSM NT client running V3.1.0.0 began spitting out the
following messages after apparently starting a backup schedule --- it's as
though the schedule starts, the registry is backed up, and then nothing
happens --- sometimes the backup doesn't appear to finish (according to the
schedule log), but with the next day's incremental, the info from the
previous day is posted and appears to be correct and uneventful. Has anyone
else seen this type of behavior on an NT box?
