Hello,
I am attempting to get backup exec 10.1 (SP3) running with a dell tape drive. Every single backup that I start goes into a queued state and stays there until I cancel it. I have done massive amounts of research and NOTHING has seemed to do the trick, so I'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas or maybe I'm missing something.
What I have tried:
-verify server isn't paused (it's not)
-verify veritas drivers are being used
-reboot server
-reinstall backup exec
-backup to disk (opposed to tape)
-start backup, disable tape causing the job to fail, reenable tape
-running an inventory while backup job is running (which interestingly enough, if i cancel the backup job, the inventory will go into running, but just stays there like that - no percent completed ever shows)
-tried different tapes in the tape drive
-disable and completly remove tape, stop services, restart services allowing it to detect the tape again
-stop/start services
Now, i backup a SQL database nightly to this same tape drive via sql management studio and this backup works fine.
With backup exec, all the jobs do is sit in queued.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Justin
