just have all jobs fail w/
"client backup was not attempted because backup window closed(196)"

i have several policies each w/ different times, run every nite

6pm - 3am window
mid - 3am window
11pm - 4am window
9pm - 1am window
etc..........
so they pretty much all vary in times
 
how many attempts listed? (may need to turn the attempt column on)
what are the errors given under details on the previous attempts ?


status 196 attempt 3?

its already on, but lists nothing/blank, not even a 0
 
OK then that means the jobs get queued but never go active.
Eventually the window closes before they even have a chance to go attempt a start.
I suggest checking the VERITAS "Knowledge Base Search" for

job stays queued

Job get put in to the queue when the window opens, they then sit there untill a resorce becomes avalible to run them. If the resorces are busy for example rerunning failed jobs, slow throughput or down drive, then the jobs in the queue may never get a chance to use the resores before the window closes. In that case you will get a 196. Look at what is happening to stop the jobs starting. Also check the policy settings to ensure that the jobs are getting a fair shot at running.

If you have a window of 3 hours and a frequency of 1 day then the job will go into the queue 24 hours after the last time it ran. So if the last time it ran it only managed to start 1 minute befoe the end of the queue then next's days job will go into the queue 1 minute from the end of thw window. But the scheduler only checks for jobs to submit every 5 to 10 minutes (dependant on your settings) so you could miss your slot.
 
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
