I have two Hyper-V 2012 Servers on which I have scheduled a number of backup jobs using the SCHTASKS command. The backups have been running fine since I created the tasks on 2/26/2014 until last night. On one of the servers the backup was supposed to run at 6:00pm last night and on the other one it should have run at 7:00pm. On both of them the backup task was apparently not triggered, when I view the event logs for the task manager there is no entry there at all for those times.
On the server where the backup was supposed to run at 6:00 last night I brought up the task manager and see this for the job.
Name: WeeklyBackupMonday
Status: Ready
Triggers: at 6:00 pm every Monday of every week starting 2/26/2014
Next Run Time: 3/17/2014 at 6:00pm
Last Run Time: 3/3/2014 at 6:00pm
Result: The last job finished successfully.
Clearly the job that was supposed to run on the 10th did not run, the same thing is happening on both servers. The other server has a backup job that is supposed to run on Sunday and it also did not run. The history shows that prior to Sunday the jobs were running normally.
I find it very strange that both servers started exhibiting the same issue simultaneously and am having a difficult time knowing how to troubleshoot the issue as I can not find anything in the logs regarding why it may have failed. Can any one point me in the right direction for troubleshooting this issue?
Thanks in advance.
