I have setup a backup schedule of Diff. Mon thru Thur. and a Normal on Fri. It has been running fine for a about two months. Now for some unknown reason the jobs are not running. In the job monitor window it shows the next job to run a pending. After several hours I aborted the job and tried doing it manually with the same result. Because of this problem my Exchange Server
mdbdata folder is taking up a ton of space. Why is it hung up on pending all of a sudden?

I have tried backing upjust one of the drives on my server but end up with the same result, pending.

Thanks, Dean

This is not really an answer because you didn't say _why_ the job s are pending. If you look a little furthur, there should be a reason listed somewhere. 2 reasons that I know of for jobs pending are damaged or corrupt media, or the worng media, or it could be that backup account, or admin if you are using that account, does not have rights to a part of the network that is supposed to be backed up. Have you tried creating a new job that is configured like your daily? If not, try it. If the new job runs, you'll know it's in the daily configuration. If it doesn't run, you should get some type of error message.
Hope that helps some.

Hello. I need more information. On the Alert tab, are there any errors listed. If so, what are they? What kind of tape drive is it? When was the last time a cleaning cycle was run on it? Have you restarted the computer, or if that's not possible restarted the services? What modules are you using with Backup Exec? With a few of these questions answered I can probably be of more help (if finding these answers doesn't give it away!).
