DPE & Scheduling of backups

[NSG]

I am having an odd problem with DPE and setting up a simple backup rotation. Everything works fine with backing up, except the backup job starts way outside of the start time that has been setup for the nightly rotation.

I have verified the start time, yet it still shows that it's starting about 8 hours late when I review the logs. Any ideas?

Just making some guesses here but if it exactly 8 hours off it is likely related to the clocks on your system.

What OS are you running and what time zone are you in?

I had thought the same thing initially -- something with the clocks. But it's accurate and in the correct time zone. It's running on XP.

The other thing I was thinking about it maybe power savings was kicking in and not allowing the backup software to kick off.

Power save might be the issue. If it goes to sleep Data Protector Express can't wake it up to run the backup.
