"Pending" state means that the schedule will start soon. This state is entered when schedule time is passed but the schedule will start with random delay within startup window. If you want to change this behavior look for SET RANDOMIZE command. For example if the server is with default randomization of 25% and you have a schedule at 23:00 with default duration of 1 hour: - before 23:00 the schedule will be "Future" - after 23:00 but before actual start the schedule will be "Pending" - after actual start it will become "Started" and upon end will become "Failed" or "Completed" - if the client did not contacted the server between 23:00 and 23:15 the schedule will be "Missed"

Niklas Defining an immediate ClientAction should be the way to go! If it is showing 'pending' make sure the SCHEDULER service/daemon is running and if writing straight to tape that you have a drive free. It should be as simple as that! Also, try SCHEDMode PRompted as well!

Hello Is it possible to start a client backup from the server? Now I have schedmode set to polling, but if the client misses the schedule I want to start a backup from the server instead of going to the client and starting it there. I've been looking at the immediate action schedules but the schedule don't seem to start, the schedule status is pending Regards Niklas Lundstr�m
