Backup job hangs in "queued" state if WORM media are used.

The job turns into queued state right after the job starts. We already made some succesfull backups on WORM media before. Daily and weekly backup jobs run without problem. I tried change media and everythink is updated.

 

Any suggestion?

 

Thank you.

Thank you Bhavik. It was the right clue. I found alert there which pointed me to this solution: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH68894&actp=search&viewlocale=en_U...

I associated new WORM media with "keep data infinitely - Do not allow owerwrite" media set before the backup job. I had to re-inventory tapes and keep them in native "scratch" media set.

 

Thank you, have a nice day.

Check the Alerts tab to see if there are any alerts awaiting acknowledgement. That might also give you a clue about the cause..
