Backup Exec 16 - Why won't it stop jobs immediately?
Why is it that active backup jobs will not just immediately cancel when requested?
Backup Exec 16 seems to be as responsive to a cancel request, as a freight train hauling 500 tons of steel rebar trying to stop.
After sitting here waiting for 10 minutes with four simultaneous deduplication backup jobs at "Cancel Pending", and the server CPU load at about 10%, I gave up and rebooted the Windows server.
On reboot, those jobs are now listed as "Recovered" and have kept on running anyway.
What the....?

Is there some way to just simply outright kill these jobs without waiting for "Cancel Pending"?
Do I have to physically disconnect the network cables or go into the Windows network properties and disable all the network adapters, to get it to finally listen to me and stop?
