Marty,we are having similar issues with our version 7 for windows NT. One
issue we had was that a schedule such as yours would prompt strange or duplicate
jobs. Is this happening? I read from the verita's site that to clear this
up you should schedule (in your case) seven separate jobs,not just two,one
for the full and one for the differentals. This seemed to help us with duplicate/still
pending jobs. Hope this helps. Try this link: http://seer.support.veritas.com/tnot...rknt/18623.htm

Marty,

I have just read your post, and I have recently encountered a similar
problem.
My nightly differential backup had been pending for over 9 hours, until I
aborted it. Inventories also sat pending for many minutes until aborted.

The situation was finally resolved by powering down the backup server, and
each individual external tape drive. Everything was then powered up at the
same time, and the autoloader worked again as normal.

Since we had added a new tape drive the day before, powering down the server
but not all of the external scsi tape drives, we have deduced that it was
this that caused our pending problem.

Try the full power down, it worked for me!!!
