Hey Folks,
Ok, got a new one here. I have a policy defined called "Exch-TBEX02-DB". Within this policy, I have three schedules defined.
Differential-Inc - 2 Week retention (occurs nightly)
Full - 1 month Retention (Occurs weekly)
Full-Offsite - Infinity (retention) (Occurs end-of-month) These get pulled and off-sited.
So the diffs run, the Full runs, but of hte three policies I have set up like this, two of them ran, the third did not. No error, it's like it is not even scheduled (It is, btw to occur Midnight to 6 AM). Now, on the date I have the FULL-OFFSITE occuring (this last one 10/219/11 for example), I have EXCLUDED that date as a run date in the FULL schedule (so not to conflict with FULL-OFFSITE)
Is there a log file I can look at or something?
Thanks,
James

Can i confirm that it is the Full off site one that did not?
29th October was a Saturday - your window is on a Sunday
I am thinking that you have a 7 day frequency for the Full Schedule that is an issue anyway - if it ran well over time or got run manually in the week it would not be ready - i would reduce this to 4 or 5 days, if it only has an open window once a week it will always be ready on that day.

Could you do the policy listing for the problem policy and one of the other please:
bppllist policyname -L
Just in case we can spot something
nbpemreq -predict and -due - date shows what is expected to run when but lets start with the full listing
Thanks

In addition to policy config as per Mark's request, please also post the following for the client name (or one of the clients) in the problematic policy:
bpimagelist -client <client-name> -policy <policy_name> -d 10/21/2011 -U

Mark, You are correct. So my problem was my Policy scheduled on a Saturday, but the time window was on Sunday. As for the rest of your suggestion, I don't think I understand your suggestion. The FULL is a 7-day frequency, I include an exclusion date at the end ofhte month when the offsite should run so there is no overlap. I will need to re-work my window to make sure it runs when I want it to. Thanks!
