Hello.
Are you sure they are powering down?
Yes.
I've asked the users and they confirm they power them down when they are
finished with their task.
there is no
way to deal with the user physically powering down the machine, other
than telling them not to do that.
Exactly! But how do they know a backup is running?
I can only ask the user to delay poweroff if a backup is running; I
cannot require all PCs to be always on.
If you are trying to deal with laptops that users take in and out of the
office, then look into the "Reschedule On Error" directive for the Job
I'm already doing this: sooner or later rescheduling will find each
client up, but this is useless if it's powered down again before the job
finishes.
In the user workstation case I've mostly dealt with it by NOT backing up
user machines. :)
Well... if I could have my way...
All my "old" customers keep data only on the servers and PCs are not
backed up.
Transitioning a new customer to this model will probably take years, as
it's a matter of mentatly.
bye & Thanks
