Daylight Savings Time has caused multiple servers to “miss” scheduled backups.

Good way to start a Monday…sunday actually, but I ignored those emails :slight_smile:

Error : e000e020 - The job was scheduled to run, but the availability window closed before the job could start. There may not have been any destination devices available during the window, or the job may have been submitted to run when the window was closed.

Time skipped ahead when job was supposed to start.

Besides old computers that you must reset the time on…

How has Daylight savings Time ruined your life?

We have a 3 year old with an ear infection with one less hour of sleep for all.

We only “lose” an hr once but for me it still feels like I get robbed an hr every night perpetually for about a week as my body and circadian rhythm tries to adjust.

So far so good on the technical side. I’m surprised that I haven’t at least had one person report that the time is incorrect on their phone or computer, or something.

Personally I hate DST. I’m totally dragging today, and it will probably take several days for my body to adjust to the new schedule.

I lived in Arizona for a year, and the fact that they do no participate in DST is one of the few things I actually miss about living there.

I remember a friend of mine turned his clocks forward instead of backwards once. He was VERY early for work on the Monday.

Instead of focusing on what I’m losing (sleep) I prefer to look at what I’m gaining (daylight). Then, in November, I do the same thing…only backwards.

Of course, I could do without the whole system, since the electric lightbulb kind of eliminated the need for it.

Not ruining my life, but have one stupid machine that wants to be “special”. Still trying to figure out how to get that one machine up-to-date with current DST.

Not ruined. I’m dragging but coffee is carrying me home.

It’s a good investment though. It gives me enough daylight after the bell whistles to get some fishing in before dark =)

I must be one of the few who has never managed to notice any difference when the time changes. I don’t feel like I lose sleep, my days aren’t thrown out of whack, etc. The day after adjusting the time is just like any other normal day to me. Maybe the reason it “affects” a lot of people is due to psychological reasons.

Red Bull has come to save my day. I am just glad it doesn’t get dark at 4pm here in Maine now.

We English want double British Summer Time for summer aon GMT +1 for winter to save energy and lives by having more light on the darker evenings. The Scots (and some Northern English farmers) don’t because they’d have to get up in the middle of the night.

All we can do is wait for Scottish independence.

How do you get on in the US with Alaska and California say?

Technically everything is surprisingly right on track. Going forward isn’t as bad as going back here. I have had to deal with DST my whole life. I really do enjoy the fact that it is still light when I leave to go home. I do drag a bit for a few days though.

In eons of physical and cultural development it seems like eventually MAN could get past the Daylight Savings Time terrors.

Set your network up to handle it.

Enjoy the day - whatever time it “really” is.

Time is relative anyway.

Grouchy? Check. Irritable? Check. Tired? Check.

Looks like the usual strain on my body is proceeding as scheduled. I shall be surviving solely on orange soda for the next week.

(Why, yes, my caffeine tolerance is very low, why do you ask?)

Pshh daylight savings time has been awesome for me. I got a late start leaving for work this morning and noticed around 7:30am that traffic was non existent. Places that should have bottlenecked were free flowing. I wonder how many people were late this morning because they didn’t set their clocks?

Our biggest issue is the myriad of analog clocks that need to be set manually. Big concrete building means no radio signals inside so no auto-adjusting clocks.

The only other thing is one single scheduled reporting job that fails to adhere to the server time. It’s like the program has its own little clock. Everything else runs fine on that machine, except for that one, lousy, stupid, little reporting job.

I have two young kids. I always worry that trying to move their body clocks by an hour is going to be a disaster…

All good here, since I am about to decomission the last server under my care that was running Symantec BackupExec :smiley:

No DST here in Arizona. Thus, no worries.

We have clients in other states that do have DST, so the shift that takes care of that portion of the business has to come in an hour earlier. That just means I have company at 7 AM up on my floor until Fall.

DST is like y2k every 6 months.
