I'm having the same kind of trouble. I thought that it may have started when
I installed SP4 to Netware 5, didn't see a connection with Daylight Savings
Time.

In an attempt to fix the problem, I completely wiped out my tape rotation
information and started it fresh. My first full backup ran on Friday on
Tape1. Monday called for a Diff to be run on Tape2, this ran fine. Tues-Thurs
appended more Differentials to Tape2, perfect so far. Another full backup
ran on Friday on Tape3, so far so good. Monday asked for Tape2 again and
a differential overwrote to that, still doing fine. Now it's Tuesday and
it's asking for Tape4 to do a differential, WRONG! The same pattern is developing
and I know when I get to Friday this week, it's going to want a new prepared
tape which I shouldn't have to have.

Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Thanks!

BTW, using BKUPEXEC for Netware Build 8.5.077

Sounds exactly like the problem I am having. My version is 8.5.079. Im not
sure what is going on, but I have noticed that in the Job Manager, you can
set the date/time to 12 hour clock and it still shows 24 hour clock on the
Job Manager screen. They obviously have some issues with timing.

Novell suggested I delete be8.5 and re-install. I did and it didn't help.
