Rule Blocked? BE2012
Good Morning,
I have 3 Servers that have 2 jobs on each server. 1 job is configured to backup the SQL server and the other job backs up the entire server minus the SQL selection. The job that backs up the whole server keeps getting a Job Status of Rule Blocked. The job is configured to do Differential backups M-F, Full backups weekly on Sat, monthly on the last Sat of the month and yearly on the last sat of the year.
For the life of me I am not able to find anything anywhere regarding the term Rule Blocked.
Thanx in advance!!
Chris
More info on this, well I dug into the server configuration area undder Error Handling Rules and found two Rules that were enabled: Recovered Jobs and Checkpoint Restart. For the time being I have disabled both of those rules. That leaves all of the error handling rules disabled.
I would agree Colin on the thought process about being blocked by another scheduled job or multiple jobs starting at the same time. However, I have 1 job that starts at 9PM configured for Overwrite and all my remaining jobs are scheduled for 10PM with append (this keeps my daily jobs all on one tape). None of the other jobs that run at that time were getting hit.
I am hoping that turning off the error handling rules will clear this up. I guess I will know tomorrow :o)
