scheduler found no backups due to run(200)

Server:

2003 R2
Oracle

Problem:

This differential job has not run all week. It gets "scheduler found no backups due to run(200)" every time it tries to run. it takes it about 30-40Sec to fail.
It does not matter if it is started by the schedule or a manual start.

I have searched everywhere looking for a clue as to the cause. All I can find are articles about duplicate jobs or Sharepoint. Neither case applies.

    The wrong type of policy might also give this error.

    Else a solution we have used has been to copy the policy to a new policy.

    Never figured out why that worked, but got  backup of the client in question

    Hope this helps

    Message: scheduler found no backups due to run

    Explanation: When the NetBackup scheduler process (nbpem) checked the policy and the schedule configuration, it did not find any clients to back up.

    This error may be due to the following:

    • No backup time windows are open (applies only to full and to incremental schedules).

    • Policies are set to inactive.

    • The clients were recently backed up and are not due for another backup (based on Frequency setting for the schedules).

    • Policies do not have any clients.

    Recommended Action: Usually, this message can be considered informational and does not indicate a problem. However, if you suspect a problem, do the following:

    • Examine the NetBackup All Log Entries report for any messages in addition to the one that indicates the scheduler found nothing to do.

    • Examine the policy configuration for all policies or the specific policy in question to determine if any of the reasons in the Explanation section apply.

    I suppose the obvious question is 'did it ever work'?

    How long ago did the Full backup run and was it completely successful?

    the last successful full was 3/3 and backed up 109GB.

    I was recently handed this project and have successfully gotten all jobs (across 3 BU servers) to work consistently, except this one. As a result, I don't have a lot of info beyond what the system can tell me.
