Daylight Savings Time tip

Saw this go by in an email- thought it was worth posting..

(yes, I know it is a late post for US- but lots more on 3/27 :-)

From Admin Guide:

Backups fail to start when daylight savings time change occurs:

If backups are scheduled to occur during the hour in which the operating system moves the clock ahead or behind by one hour, the backup operation will be skipped.

For example, suppose that the operating system is configured to move the clock forward one hour at precisely 2:00 A.M and backups are scheduled to occur at

2:01 A.M. At 2:00 A.M., the clock is moved forward to 3:00 A.M. All times from 2:01 to 2:59 are skipped and scheduled is not initiated.

To avoid this situation, set the backup time to occur at least one minute before the time change occurs.

Note: Using the mminfo query to get a weekly save set usage summary during the change to

daylight savings time does not display any information for the day of the change.

Thanks,
