Hi I have a farm of about 10 machines. Only one of them when it tries to connect to the Manager gives these errors on the Manager (Backburner 2016, Windows 10, problem server is on IP 192.168.1.89): 2016/02/04 16:46:06 WRN Attempt to register busy server td89x4 2016/02/04 16:46:06 INF Cannot handle registration from td89x4.

Hi all - great forums. Just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to transfer a backburner job from one manager to another? I have a small render farm setup and would like to give each machine a break - ideally turning one off a night rather than them all being on 24/7 but obviously the one which is acting as the manager can't go offline otherwise all the render jobs will stop. I know I could just start a manager on another machine and send the job to that one but I have lots queued up already and don't want to delete tham and then have to set them all back up in Max and resubmit them to another manager. Not sure it's possible but if anyone knows otherwise I'd love to know. Cheers Jonty
