    Hi Todd,

    that does not seem to work for me. I have setup a snapshot and created a schedule that should renew the snapshot on weekdays at 0:00 but that doesn't seem to happen.

    The run-up is the following:

    - created a snapshot and a schedule that says: Weekday Snapshot, Weekly Mo. Tu. We. Th. Fr. at 00:00
    - then the snapshot had been inactivated, due to teh fact that I copied more data on the voluem than would fit into the snapshot
    - actiuvated the snapshot again manually yesterday
    - the snapshot didn't remew last night at 0:00

    So, could it be that, once a snapshot overflows, one has to wait until the next scheduled activation for the snapshot to re-appear?

    Cheers,
    budy

    Dear Budy,

    Scheduling a snapshot was tested and it works fine. Id you press the green play button?

    Please try testing it with another snapshot!

    Regards,
    SJ

    Hi SJ,

    I have the same problems like budy.
    One snapshot is scheduled to be activated/renewed every day at 20:00.

    If I press the green play button before 20:00, the snapshot is started but never renewed at 20:00. The task status shows the start time of the manual activation.

    If i do not press the play button, the snapshot is activated correctly at 20:00 but never renewed and the task shows the start time of the first activation at 20:00.

    Regards
    Matthias

    Hi Matthias,

    yes, I second that. I have tried that three times and I never could get it to work.
    I wanted to go live with my setup in Jan. but it seems that I can't.

    Thats's really a pity.

    Cheers,

    Dear Budy,

    As we mentioned earlier it works in our labs, I am sure we are missing something here. Can you download the logs and send it to support@open-e.com.

    Regards,
    SJ

    Hi SJ,

    right. I have setup my volumes again, since I felt that I messed something up along my way, when I was playing around, but I will now recreate my replication setup and monitor it closely.

    I will setup two snapshot schedules:

    a) each weekday at 0:00, no end time
    b) each saturday at 0:00, no end time

    Will this be a problem? Unfortuanetly, I cannot have a schedule that runs for exactly two days, say from Sat. 0:00 until Sun 23:59, can I?

    The snapshot are for backing up the target volume and will be mounted ro on my backup server.

    If this setup is okay, then I will proceed and watch out for any issues that are related to the problems I had and send the logs to support.

    Cheers,
    budy
