    Hi,

    try running a repair of the Backup Exec Installation through Programs and Features

    if it is still an issue run a repair on the Backup Exec Database by going to the Backup Exec Installation directory (C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\ ) and double clicking on BEUtility.  see this link:  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH67239

Since you indicated that the devices are USB and swapped out, is it only the USB device for the Friday full job that sits in "Discovering Resources"?

How are the USB drives configured in Backup Exec?

Have you tried pausing, disabling or placing the device offline and then un-pause or placing it back into an enabled or online state? If the USB devices are removed be sure to inventory them when placed back into the server.
