We are using calendar based scheduling, so the "frequency" is grayed out.

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.
