Changing existing plan schedule

Thread needs solution

Hello, I've ABR 11 Virtual edition. I created bacup task with custom schedule (as every monday full and other work days incremental backup). After created backup I saw that some tasks had wrog time and edited that (for example 18:00 to 17:00 and 17:00 to 16:00). Yesterday (02.01.2012) tasks ran correctly but next start time was not seems proper. For example last start time was 02.01.2012 16:00 and next start time was 02.01.2012 17:00. So day did not change and hour + 1 (as before I first edited the tasks). I edited the task schedule for to try. And change hours to one hour later. After deploying completed I saw next start time changed to next day but hour was as previous hour of schedule (03.01.2012 16:00). So as it should be the first schedule.

Is it normal? Why change the next start day after backup task was completed? Additionally ABR apply the schedule changings after the run first backup of previous schedule? If so, today after the task run time, next task start time will be the time that I tried up? So again task start date remain today and the time that I set it up. And tasks will not run tomorrow. In that case, there is a main bug more interface error isn't it? Must we not change the task schedule options after creating?

I purchased that product so much trust the name of Acronis. But now after one year, I'm start thinking that I made a mistake...

"Next start time" in the current build displays everything but correct time if you change the schedule. Just ignore it and use logs to see when the task was run actually. After restart of mms service (Acronis Managed Machine service) it seems to display correctly. Schedule changes are applied immediately, if you change them at 15:00 to run 16:00 instead of 17:00 next task will run after one hour, at 16:00.

dev-anon,

I mean that: I changed several times the schedule for trying but even restart the mms service job time did not changed.

Result of my observation:

Task start at 14:00 as seen task settings, next start time wasn't affected situation.
At the task end, next start time did not change again. Seems still 03.01.2011.
Is it normal?

Last situation:
Tasks have started right time as setted up in the task settings; however wrong time written on the "Next Start Time" row. But according to me it is a bug (not serious but it is) and it should be fixed in the next builds.

Is the agent (where the plan is deployed) a Virtual Appliance? Or maybe a wrong timezone is set there. I saw the 'stale' 'next run time' before, but when it's finally updated, it was exactly as it should, without hours difference.

There is a Virtual Appliance. Timezones are same on VA and Server and setted up correct zone. Yes, it was as you said; after second run, "Next Start Time" row start showing the correct time.
