FMServer disables schedules ... ???

[alopas]

Hi,

I have FMServer running on an XServe G5 and I have a problem with the back ups. When it comes the time to make the back up, instead of doing it, it "disables" the schedule. If I click again on "allow schedules to run" or "enable schedule", it doesn't make any difference ... it does it again!!!

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance

I'm assuming this is FMS7? What does the log file say about this? Are you using the normal FMS backup scheduling or are you running an external backup script (shell script)?

Are you sure the path where the backup is going to is valid? Is it a network volume?

I had the same problem. The solution is to make sure your privileges are set correctly on the folder that will hold the backup files.

Make sure the Owner | Group | Everyone have Read/Write access.

Yes, FMS disables the schedule if there is an error preventing it from working correctly.

I've not had much experience with FMS 7, but every single problem has been OS-level permissions related. In my case, MacOS X.

Is it only me, or do other people find all this UNIX permissions stuff a load of "silly knees-bent mucking around"?

Got it ... I'll play with the access privileges and see what happens. Thank you very much for the feedback!
