Do not manually load media into the tape drive. That is the job of Backup Exec to move media as needed. If the tape drive is idle, it should say "no media in drive".
I would suggest turning off the backup scan. Since you can run an inventory job successfully, it sounds like Backup Exec and the library are working OK. So I would focus on the backup job that is stuck queued. Is there more than one job that gets stuck in a queued state?
I have turned off the backup scan and it still get stuck. There are multiple different backup jobs that all have the same problem

Is this impacting ALL jobs from the NDMP server?
Is this impacting ALL jobs using the tape library?
Do you have any jobs that target anything other than the tape library?
The goal is to determine if the issue is related to the NDMP system or the tape library system. The best way to do that may be a test job that you can change source and target easily to see where the problem lies.

We use a single NDMP server and a single tape library on this system so yes it is impacting all jobs. It would take some time to configure it otherwise, but it may come to that.
Right now it seems that the robotic library is not loading any tapes to the drive for some reason. When starting the jobs I receive media request "Please insert ovewritable media into the drive..."

Well, that is completely different than your first post. I would look at the media in the library in the BE GUI. Do you see overwritable media? If you do, then this needs to gets investigated. If not, then you need to fix that.
