HI,
I tried to restore a file last week and changed my mind in the middle. The issue I am having is that the job monitor on the backup exec tells me that there is an active job restoring and it keeps running at the same time when i try to do my daily backup it keeps egecting the tapes and rescheduling them for the next day and egects the tapes in 1 munite. How do I abort this restore job and keep backing my files. I used the abort button on the restore to no avail. Its abort option is grayed out.

Thanks.

I don't know what the supported Veritas answer to this is, but I do know that Backup Exec is sometimes bad about aborting jobs, and once a job hangs, it won't run any other job. Either restart the server, or just shut down and restart the Backup Exec services from Control Panel.

Inser the tape that has the file to restore on it. Wait until it aborts, than run your regular jobs. If it doesn't work just restart the computer.
