hi all

 

Im having issues with BE12. last few weeks its been failing most of the backups.having looked at the errors it says the backup exec job engine system service is not responding. ive tried repqairing the software which has done nothing. trying restarting the services within BE12 and it hangs.

 

Any thoughts?

First, try to isolate which backup is causing this failure. Secondly, have a look @ the event viewer and check if there are any more detailed error messages or not.

Do ensure BE is updated with SP4 atleast. And lastly, if using any antivirus software, add exclusions for the BE processes.

Check which job is starting first and check when the job engine service not responding alert is being logged in the event viewer.

Do ensure the option to automatically display new alerts is enabled, as if an alert which requires a response and is not responded to in a set period of time, the job engine service can go in a non-responding state.
