Incorrect Elapsed Time Displayed

[Mike_Bowden]

Hello,

I am having a strange thing happen with my installation of 9.1. My nightly backups run and verify just fine ("Successful" status), however, the time displayed for "Elapsed Time" is like 5 hours AFTER the final file is verified. Backup Exec is the only software running on this computer.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks!

Hello,

Disable any online time synchronization application.
- Disable the antivirus software services before starting the backup.
- Check the system BIOS date and time settings.
- Create a new scheduled backup job.
- Perform the backup and observe the result.

I followed all of the above steps (even UNISTALLED the antivirus program) but am still havnig this "problem". It seems like something in the program is telling it not to mark the job as complete until a certain time.

If you have selected "eject on end" as part of the job description, then the elapsed time counter will keep clicking until you respond to the "remove tape" alert.

Either remove "Eject on End" or see http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/192055.htm for some tweaks that will auto-respond to several alerts, including this one.

Yep! That was it. Thanks a lot for your insight, Mr. Putnam!

For some reason, the "Press OK" dialogue was never displayed when the original job was finished, but it came back when I created a new backup job..strange.
