scsctech Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Much like its predecessor, Retro 9 seems to be showing some of the same quirks, slowdowns and annoyances of its former past. Case in point. I have a proactive script set to run 24 hours. It has 7 clients. Currently in the proactive activity tab, it says that its "waiting for next backup" and its set to occur "Today at 8:58am" Well its 3pm right now and it still hasnt @#^& run! When I flip over to the Running activity tab, absolutely nothing is happening. The whole server is just sitting there DEAD IDLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steve Maser Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 If your proactive script has 7 clients in it -- if you look in the Activities list -- have any of the client backups within that script run? What if you stop/start the engine again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monafly Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 This was a V8 problem (haven't checked it for sure in v9) where the time shown was the client time and if the client clock is off you see what you describe. Worth a quick check to see it that is the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsctech Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yes, the script is running, its just not running consistently. Its like it just sits around for a few hours a day, fiddling its thumbs deciding to back up the clients or not. I have the same issue in V8 All of our clients run off a local NTP server, I really dont see them being 7 hours off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steve Maser Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 What happens if you do either of the following: 1) change the schedule of an upcoming activity so that the date is right now? 2) Delete the past activities for one of the clients? I find that #2 seems to put an activity in "ASAP" mode and usually kicks the backup off fairly quickly. also -- how many proactive scripts do you have concurrently running? (Also -- just to confirm -- you don't have the "pause proactive" button accidentally hit, do you?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
