Backup just says Running

Good Morning-

I have had a problem w/my backup exec 9.1 for the past week. Every morning I come in and it says "Running" as the status, but it really isn't. It will sit there all day. I cancel it, it will say Cancel Pending forever until I reboot the server it is running on.

We back up 3 servers onto disk. One of them has been backing up properly. One of them kept stopping at about the same number of bytes, so I checked the log and it seemed to be stopping at the same file. I took that whole directory off the backup set and tried again last night. This morning it got much farther along in the backup set, but still stopped.

If anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing this, I would appreciate it. Also, do you know why I have to reboot the server in order to cancel a job? I tried stopping and starting the service, but the Backup Exec Job Engine service now says "stopping" but times out and didn't finish. So I have to reboot anyway.

Thanks,
Diane
