Duplicate job stuck on Loading Media (Backup Exec)

[GangrelChilde]

Hi. I am running Backupexec 12.5. All patched on a 2008 server. After running a B2D I have a duplicate B2T set to run. Now this worked perfectly up until yesterday. Now when it starts the status changes to "Loading Media" and I observe that it has taken an overwriteable tape from one of the slots. However, 19 hours later it is still "Loading Media"!

 

There are no related entries in the Event Viewer and Backup Exec seemed content to let it go on forever without giving any error messages. I cancelled the job, power-cycled the autoloader, and restarted BE services. Restarted the job and again it's still "Loading Media". Again it has taken a tape from a slot, but does not appear to be running the job.

 

Anyone know what's going on here?

Recreated the job gain and now it works! For how long I don't know but we shall see.
