I think this topic has been discussed before on the list, but I'm
going to ask the question again:

How does the ADSM scheduler randomize the start times of clients?

It appears to me that there is very little randomness to the
start sequence of the clients, in fact, it seems to be completely
ordered based on the inverse order in which the clients were
registered to the server. I.e., the first machine that was
registered to our ADSM server seems to *always* be the last
machine backed up in the schedule.

Are there any changes to the randomization in Version 3?
