Hi There................
If a backup does not start within the specified startup window(specified in
the schedule), the status will be "Missed". The status could also be Missed
if the scheduler was stopped on the client side.
If and when a scheduled backup has a status of "Failed":
Query the activity at the point in time when the schedule was suppose to
start
   Q ACT BEGIND=day of schedule BEGINT=start time of schedule
SEARCH=FAILED(optional)
Have a look at the schedule log(dsmcsched.log)

   Have a nice day
