Hi
The problem seems to be the snapshot that VSP (OTM) makes. This snapshot
is created in the form of a virtual drive. When done it disappear. It
happens especially when the backup window goes over midnight.
SENARIO: Backup to start at 22:00 and will run until 02:00. Drives C:
and D: to be backed up (ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES). Backup Window from 22:00 to
03:00. When bpsched resets at 24:00 it then rescans the backups and
finds that the backup that started at 22:00 with "ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES" is
still running, but it now has a drive E: (the VSP/OTM snapshot). It then
tries to start a backup for it.

Thanks for the advice - but could you be more specific? What about the
size of the drive and VSP? Also to where should the location be changed?
I don't think you can specify the snapshot location with VSP like you
could with OTM. Finally which server are you talking about? The client?
That is a very busy system and rebooting is difficult. Will I keep
seeing a backup of G:\ until it is rebooted?
thanks
