We run 12 separate backup jobs every night, all of them to hard disk files. Almost every morning when I check the status of the jobs from the previous night, there is one job still verifying. For example, this morning a job which does an SQL backup has been running for over 11 hours. The last time this job ran, it completed successfully in 4 minutes. The problem does not appear to be related to any specific job. Also, when a job enters this state, it will not cancel. When I try to cancel the job, the job status displays "Cancel Pending" and remains in that state until I stop the Backup Exec Job Engine service. I've seen several threads in this forum related to this issue, but I've yet to see a definitive answer from Symatec. Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem?
