Strange start times with GFS scheme?
After several rough patches learning B&R I have finally discovered that GFS is the backup scheme that our company is wanting to use.
I recently setup three new jobs backing up several virtual machines. Each just backs up the machine as is... nothing special on each.
Backup setup:
Scheme: GFS
Start backup: 6:00 PM
Backup on: Workdays
Weekly/Monthly: Friday
Keep Backups: Daily - 7 days, Weekly - 10 days, Monthly - 6 months
Advanced Settings: All off
Verify: none
The scheme was setup based upon the 'limited storage' suggestion in the help file that came with B&R 11 VE.
The job seems to be working as normal if you manually run the job but it seems to be setting random start times after the job finished. For instance this job ran a full backup on 4/27 (Full) but shows that it's next start date is 5/25 which, according to my calendar, would be the next full monthly backup. Shouldn't it show 4/30 for the daily backup (today?)??
I have another job setup with the same options that shows the same start time.
To add to the confusion, I have ANOTHER job that shows today as the start time! Same settings, same GFS settings, etc -- just a different VM that it is backing up.
Can someone shed some light on this beast?
Thanks!
Kelly
