NBU doesn't start manual backups

[Franko]

Hey folks,

I'm trying tu run manual backups in a AIX 6.1 server, with a NetBackup 7.0, i've created my Policy and when I try to run a manual backup the activity monitor doesn't show anything, and i dont receive any message of error or warning, anything...

I've looked up the bprd's log and it doesn't show anything in particular:

I have the same issue on AIX, cannot run manual backups, when I start them, nothing appear in the activity monitor.

Thanks.

I have the same issue on AIX but I wait about 10 Min job will show in activity monitor.

May be there is some problem in Activity Monitor GUI.

See the below posts. There is a way to check the Activity Monitor via commandprompt.
