I had the same on BENT 7.3 once, the solution was to stop and restart
the BackupExec service. After that all went OK again.

Just tried that and deleted all other jobs from activity monitor, still does
the same.
I am not getting any alerts though.

More info.

I hadn't noticed that in Devices all my tapes are Bad Media, which I'm sure
they aren't. I have re-installed Tape drivers, cleaned the drive etc.
Maybe the drive is knackered ?

Generally, once BENT thinks a tape volume is bad, the only thing you can do is
re-label it. (And that may or may not result in a usable tape) You cannot
retreive anything that may have been written to it before.

Does NTBackup accept the tapes?

Hi Andy

Check the SCSI Controller Firmware and Drivers update if necessary.

This specific situatio occured tome more than once at some of my clients.
In those times, i found the server paused in the MEDIA tab on the bottom.
And just by right-clicking my server and removing the PAUSED checkmark, it
solved the problem. Don't ask me why, it just works.

Take care,

Simon-Emile
