    NBU 7.0.1 on Windows 2008 R2.

    Steps:

    Closed Windows Admin Console.
    Opened cmd (Run as Administrator)

    Stopped NBU (I have all NBU folders in PATH variable):
    C:\Windows\system32>bpdown

    C:\Windows\system32>bpjobd -r 15045
    Removing entry for the jobdid 15045
    Job 15045 removed from active job database

    Started NBU:
    C:\Windows\system32>bpup

    Opened Console.

    Job Id 15045 is now gone.

bpjobd is unfortunately an undocumented command with switches that are not listed in the 'help' (-h) output:

I just tried it - we have one ghost job.

> bpjobd -h
usage:  bpjobd [] [-d] [-downgrade] [-terminate] [-v] [-V] [-h]

> bpjobd -r 15045

I now need for weekend backups to complete to restart NBU.

Have a look at these posts:
