Which Advanced pull-down menu? Within NT Backup/Advanced
Schedule Options for the job the date had been set at one
point to a date in the past (when job was created) but
this was changed to next run time. There is a log file
for the manual job that runs successfully. Am I looking
in the right place for the Advanced pull-down menu?
