    Job status 'Loading Media'

    Backup Exec 2.0 says files inaccessible and in use when they are not

    Are you sure you are using BE version 2.0 ??? You really need to upgrade !!! Try BE version 8.6 (rev 3878). Forget version 9.0 for the time being - Wait for most of the bugs to be fixed in v9.0 first. Version 8.6 seems fairly stable.
