Yes - we could probably upgrade the client, I depend on the Win admin of
this client to do this...  It can't hurt and might resolve it
(hopefully?)./

It's using 'ALL' so we don't miss and partition changes.. The Admin is
not the best at communicating when he makes changes... So I leave it as
'ALL' to be safe.

Yes - there are other groups running in the same pool overnight, but
they all complete well before this group does. Before we upgraded from
7.2.2, this never happened unless there were less than 4 save-sets
waiting to run for this client. It would always run 4 sessions at a time
as long as there were drives / sessions available, which is usually the
case..
