The dsmsched.log only shows the regular server incremental backup scheduled at 
01:59.  The TDPschedule log had 'no schedule returned'.  Now that I have 
updated the schedules with 'exp=never' and restarted the services I see the 
scheduled start times on all three servers - 22:00 for incrementals, 17:00 for 
the full that will run tonight.  I've been puzzling over this for about 2 weeks 
and never noticed that backups were running with expired schedules.

My current Exchange server schedules are
tsm: CH2UPTSM3>q ev * * n=ch2wpexch*

Tomorrow's results will let me know if the fix worked.

Thanks again,
Jim Schneider

I must agree with Jim on the fact that it's a bit strange backups where still 
running even though the schedule has expired. The backups must be managed by a 
different schedule than the one Jim was trying to edit. The dsmsched.log should 
be able to provide more info as well.

Cheers
Rick
