The Auto-Populate VM Process Does Not Start On Schedule

Valid on all Windows operating systems supported by Arcserve Backup.

Symptom

The auto-populate VM process does not start on schedule. The frequency of the auto-populate process was changed recently.

Solution

After you change the frequency of the auto-populate process, the process will start the next calendar day.

Example: Change the Frequency of the Auto-populate VM Process

You change the frequency of the auto-populate VM process to one hour at 11:00 AM on April 5. Although you expect the process to start at 12:00 PM on April 5, it does not start. The auto-populate VM process will start at 12:00 AM on April 6 and execute at one hour intervals.

Optionally, you can run the auto-populate process manually to update the Arcserve database using the ca_vcbpopulatedb command line utility. For information about the ca_vcbpopulatedb command line utility, see the Command Line Reference Guide.
