Sue,

I have the same problem. I know that this is not the real solution, but I
simply rename any old machine that I normally don't backup the same name
as the server I have taken offline. When it shows up in the list I remove
it from the selection. If you find a better way let me know.

The easiest way of corse is to remove it from the selection list before you
take it off line.

Good luck

You cannot delete the (offline servers) from the selected items (graphic version)
because they don't exist there. However, they exist in the selected items
(text mode), so you need to open the job definition properties of the job
containing these (offline) servers, go to selections, display them in "text
mode", delete them from the text mode and you'll be alright.
