Only this schedule has a priority of 'one', it is for testing the backup of one specific filesystem. There were no other events scheduled to run at this time, however, since the backup of this filesystem takes 14 hours (4.2 million objects/ 108 Gb) I assigned it higher priority over events occurring later in the day.
Randomization is probably the answer. I did not realize that randomization would be used when no other sessions/processes were active on the TSM Server and/or client.

If there are no sessions available, the backup will start anytime a session is available within that schedule window.

If I recall correctly randomization is for every schedule even if it only runs on one node. And the ramdomization starts from the moment the nodes connect to the server not from the start of the window. backup window is 4 hours. schedule starts at 1 AM randomization is set to 25% node connects at 230 AM schedules will start between 230 and 330 AM. Could this be it?

The client scheduler is polling and at 1:05 PM it updated, and said the schedule would start in 33 minutes. What causes a schedule to execute a time later than scheduled? I am aware of staggered starts for scheduled events, but this is the only thing scheduled at this time and nothing else is running on the server. Any ideas?
