How is your schedule set up? If it's a backup that runs once a day, do you
have the Frequency set for 1 Day? If the backup from the last day did not
start until 3 hours later than scheduled (for whatever reason), then the job
will not start again for 24 more hours, meaning it won't begin until the 3
hours past the original schedule.

If this is your problem, you can try changing the frequency to something
less than what you want it to run. In my case, my daily backups are set for
15 hours. Be careful not to set it too low and have it start twice during
the same backup window!

Subject: [Veritas-bu] scheduled backups do not start

Hi All, 

This is a problem i'm facing. 
Netbackup 3.4, backing up 2 NetApp. servers using NDMP. 
The problem is that suddenly, the scheduled backups do not start on
specefic time, 
so i have to initiate them manually. 
i have checked that bprd is running.i also set the log to be taken for
different daemons:bprd, bpsched, .... 
but i can't figure where the problem is. 

Any suggestions ? 

Regards
