Is there a way to start a failed backup that has missed it's window?
Hello,
We have 9.x version of Networker and would like to repeat a failed backup (took 3 days and failed due to power issue) that has missed its scheduled window. Whenever I try to run it I get "Not running action 'backup' because schedule says to skip it today" (I have set that client can override).
Back in previous versions (before policies/workflows) you could manually run it command line (to skip the schedule).
Any help is welcome (I don't want to clone workflows.. it seems a waste).
Thanos.

You can override the schedule from the command line as follows:
nsrworkflow -p policy -w workflow [-c client] -A "'action' -l full" -a

I tried it but it does not accept it:
PS C:\Windows\system32> nsrworkflow -p 'Backup' -w 'BACKUP-2-TAPE' -A "'backup' -l full" -a
152952:nsrworkflow: Unknown command line option: -a.
Usage: nsrworkflow [ ] -p policy_name -w workflow_name
:
[-R {jobid | mostrecent | servercrash}] [-L]
[-c ]
[-A ]
PS C:\Windows\system32> nsrworkflow -p 'Backup' -w 'BACKUP-2-TAPE' -A "'backup' -l full" -A
152952:nsrworkflow: Unknown command line option: -A.
Usage: nsrworkflow [ ] -p policy_name -w workflow_name
:
[-R {jobid | mostrecent | servercrash}] [-L]
[-c ]
[-A ]
PS C:\Windows\system32> nsrworkflow -p 'Backup' -w 'BACKUP-2-TAPE' -A "'backup' -l full"
133550:nsrworkflow: Starting Protection Policy 'Backup' workflow 'BACKUP-2-TAPE'.

Often, some details matter: this feature has been implemented with NW 9.2.1

Thanks for the info, I will try to update and test again.. (I am not sure about all the connected clients and the compatibility with 9.2.1).

I usually go into the action for the workflow action add an override to the schedule (Advanced Options). I change the current day from skip to execute. Then, I run the workflow. Once the workflow running interval is exceeded (usually 24 hours), you cannot restart a workflow.
