resource exists and is online , and then try again.if the server or resource no longer exists , remove it from selection  " ,  "Please close the

robotic door" , i expect the main problem that a jobs in queued status and i have tape drive that can't get than one job at a same time and

"Unable to attach to a resource,Ensure that the selected resource exists and is online , and then try again.if the server or resource no longer exists , remove it from selection  " 

Are you backing up usb drives or any removable, or any folder on a network, etc? Unselect it, make specific backups and do not select whole server.

"Please close the robotic door"

Well, either close the door or check if library has problems. Might be false alarm.

Bad backup plan?

...if you have 1 drive in an autoloader/library you can ony run 1 backup at a time. You'd need a second drive + Library Expansion Option license to run simultaneous jobs.

If you're missing your backup window then reconsider how you're running your backups. If FULL, consider Differential/Incremental for instance.

Thanks!

Thats because maybe you have a job running. Open BEMCLI and copy this: Get-BEJob -Status Active

We have problems, that sometimes Backup exec shows no jobs running, but in the BMCLi it shows.

 

Also keep in mind that backup exec shows jobs queued, when the library is loading the tape in to the drive. If you have a library. 

Post screenshots and logs if want more help.
