JJDetroit Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Somehow my nightly backup has gotten set to "Execution is deferred." How do I cancel this, so backups will run normally? Checked the Knowledgebase and there is info about turning Defer on, but nothing about turning it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Does this KnowledgeBase article on how to turn deferred execution off help? Execution is Deferred tutorial Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJDetroit Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Thank you, that was just what I needed. Guess the Knowledgebase "index" needs to be updated, cause I sure didn't find that article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 KnowledgeBase searching is a black art. The search engine is the pits. This particular question is posed about once a week in these forums. To me, that indicates that the user interface to the program needs to be, um, improved. I also suspect that there may be some sort of a bug that causes the program to get into this "deferred execution" mode. Otherwise, this question wouldn't be posed with such frequency. It shouldn't be so easy to get the program into this mode without the user realizing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 The next windows update will include interface changes to fix the defer interface issues. We hate the option just as much as the user's if not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 You also might want to add this to the KnowledgeBase list of "Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions" (or, if needed, expand the list to "Top 11 Frequently Asked Questions").

Mayoff Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I can't change the Top 10, that is created by the server. I did update the FAQ stuff. It should be the first KB doc found when searching for defer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom94022 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 The next question is if a script is deferred how to you start it . I read the tutorial and in my enthusiasm I clicked the X button while the deferred script was highlighted. That deleted the deferred script. I looked for but did not see a CONTINUE button. I can manually start it, but it would have been nice to find a way to resume, restart, continue, whatever tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlljohnson Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I have a twist on this topic. I'm running 7.0.6.108 Professional. It was merrily backing up my computer every night... for years... then it stopped 4 days ago... the scheduled executions became marked as deferred, BUT ONLY those scheduled to run... all future ones were OK. My deferred button is appropriately not selected. I cleared the deferred ones from the schedule... ran them manually. The schedule looks clean and ready to go. Next morning ONLY the ones that were supposed to run that night were again marked deferred! I'm perplexed as to even where to begin to look for the problem. Anyone seen this sort of thing?
