FuzzyJohn Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Why is it that even though I set Retrospect to skip the schedule until a certain date/time it still wants to run backups that were to be skipped when the skip period is over? Example: On 6/25 I set Retrospect to skip the schedule until 6/27 at 2:30AM. My backup schedule is set to run at 2:30AM alternating between Backup Set 1 and Backup Set 2. I expected Retrospect not to backup to Backup Set 1 (scheduled for 6/26 2:30AM) but to backup to Backup Set 2 (scheduled for 6/27 2:30AM). On 6/27 at 6AM i found Retrospect asking for the Backup Set 1 media to continue the backup. I stopped the execution at that point. Checking the properties for Backup Set 2 showed that the schedule executed that backup as it was supposed to. My only problem is that Retrospect should not have asked for Backup Set 1 since I told it to skip that particular schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 You might be defering the schedules rather then removing them. Go to Automate>Preview and in the script preview you can delete scheduled events. When you delete an event, all scheduled items up to that date are removed.

So "skip" really means postpone or defer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
