As you test, it's important to remember that you tests count against the
timers. Manual backups are not special in this regard.
So, if you see that a backup didn't run and manually initiate them, and
it's less that X hours, your schedule interval, when the automatic run
comes around again, it'll skip it since it's been less than the timer
requires.
So - don't panic until you see that 2X hours have passed without an
automatic run.
If this has happened, post your "bplllist <pol_name> -U" output to this
list.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] scheduled backups fail to launch
We have NB 4.5 running on two Linux servers (master and slave).
Around the first of the month, we had to replace the motherboard in the
master. Unfortunately the CMOS clock on the new board was set way in
the future, far enough that the NTP daemon refused to correct it. The
repair dude didn't notice this, and we went through one backup cycle
that way.
Since then, the backups on the remote media server do not start as
scheduled. If kicked off manually they work just fine.
The only hint I can find is the bpsched log contains messages like this:
log_in_errorDB: skipping backup of client bsd3, policy HD
Q-Stand, schedule 2years because it has exceeded the configured number
of tries
I assume somewhere NB mis-remembers it did that backup (in the future).
Where would it keep that information, and how can I reset it.
