Backupexec 2010 job in queued stay forever

[nomad10]

HI,

We have Backup Exec 2010 installed on Windows 2008 R2 (X64).

Job is active in queued state during last 100 hours.
No errors.

Any ideas ?

Hello,

Queued State means Backup Exec is not able to communicate with the Tape Library OR the Drive.

1  : Restart BE Services.
2  : Go to the Media TAB
3  : Right Click on the Drive and disable it, right click and delete it. Follow this step on all the Drives and the Medium changer.
4  : Restart Backup Exec Services.

We are forcing Backup Exec to see the TAPE Drives, also make sure that the TAPE Drives are listed in the Device Manager.

1  : Go to the Media TAB. Right click the Server Name and pause it, unpause it again after 4 to 5 seconds

hope this helps...

I have the same problem.  However, I find that if I just right click on the backup-to-disc folder that it wants to back up to and click "Scan", it starts to work immediately.  Any other suggestions?  Is it possible to do this "scan" as a pre-command before the job runs?

To back up to removable disk , we have to avoid problem by scanning disk daily using windows schedule
The script i use as follow:
Cd C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec
BEMCMD -o117 -d"weekA-Fr-D1"
BEMCMD -o117 -d"weekA-mo-D1"
BEMCMD -o117 -d"weekA-sa-D1"
BEMCMD -o117 -d"weekA-sa-D2"
BEMCMD -o117 -d"weekA-su-D1"
BEMCMD -o117 -d"weekA-su-D2"
BEMCMD -o117 -d"weekA-th-D1"
BEMCMD -o117 -d"weekA-tu-D1"

I got Trouble free with daily scan
