Our scheduled backup job failed last night after British Summer Time (BST) ended over the weekend. According to the following article: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/287693.htm
 
This is a known issue, however the link to the hotfix is dead. Does anyone know how to prevent this happening in six months when the clocks change again? And will my backups run ok tonight?
 
thanks
Paul.

Ours failed the 2nd time they were due to run, stopping and restarting the BE services seems to have fixed it for the next 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I have rebooted the server in question this morning and my scheduled Exchange job started on time this morning. Seems a fairly major flaw in the software.
