Tobi & Andy,

Thanks for your interest and your reply.

I followed your instructions, step by step (very clear, I might add).  
Everything on the server side looks as I would expect it.

The problem appears to be on the client side.  In response to the q sched, on 
the client, I don't see the backup policy that I have just created.  I only see 
the "old" one that I am to be phasing out.

This is confirmed when looking in the dsmsched.log file.  Only the "old" job 
appears here.

The only thing that shows up in the dsmerror.log file is, "Error starting 
listen thread", which has been there for some time before I started my 
activities.

I would also add, make sure the scheduler daemon/service is running on
each client machine.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.

I am as new to this as you are, even though on Win2K, but that shouldn,t
make too much a difference. Here is what I would do:

on the server, run
"q sched" to see what schedules are planned.

run "q assoc" to see if the nodes you want to have are associated (even
though to me it seems like that davinci was scheduled, hence the "missed"
notification).

run "q event *domain* *schedule*" to see if the events are scheduled as
intended.

on the client, run (in dsmc) "q sched" to see if the node has picked up
the
schedule provided by the server.

if i got this correctly, running this command on the client should update
the schedule for the node (here it did, iirc).

if no schedule shows up, in a next step i would check the schedmode
setting
for both the client and the server - see "set schedmode" in the admin-ref
and the schedmode-line in the dsm.sys-file on the client.

on a further node, the files dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log (which have to
be defined in the dsm.sys of the client as well) might help you along.
after a succesfull connection with the server, i find the next scheduled
backup at the end of the dsmsched.log.

take all this with a grain of salt - newbie-alert! :)

hoping that this helps, and please do correct me if i went wrong
somewhere,

regards, tobi
