After running the backups with "dsmc sched" and schedmode set to prompted for years, I didn't know that I had to set the schedmode to polling when I use dsmcad. The client manual isn't very clear on that topic.
You can run either polling or prompted mode when running dsmcad. We have recently switched from "dsmc sched" to dsmcad and we use prompted. I suggest adding this line to you dsm.sys: webpports 1501 1581 This forces dsmcad to use port 1501 for tcp communications and 1581 for http. dsmc sched defaulted to port 1501 so you might have firewall rules preventing the scheduler from working on any other port than 1501.
