What does "is not working" mean? How do you know it is not working?

Have you done all the basic checks, such as verify that the client points
to the correct options file, the scheduler has been restarted, you've
verified that ssbackup.bat file actually works, etc.?

Is there a client option set associated with the node? If so, what are its
contents.

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
