I have an intermittent problem where backup exec job engine stops, therefore I have to manually go in and make sure it is running every day. Also, backups to 2 separate remote machines hang for about 12 hours, then fail with 0:00 in the elapsed time column. When I attempt to go into the log, it says "the log file for this job may not be generated". I think these problems are related, as it appears that something is not running and therefore preventing the backup from running and creating a log. During these same times, tape backups work fine.
