Backup stops immediately on execution

[JakeCutter]

'Afternoon, everybody...

On ARCserve2K (SP4) backup scripts are exiting on execution with no error message after 1 or 2 seconds.

The jobs don't take a LogID number, and don't create a logfile.

The only changes I've made lately were to add a patch to fix an Exchange problem and to get rid of a bunch of r*.chg files.

I'm searching CA's support site but haven't come up with anything yet.

Anybody have any ideas?

If you didn't stop all arcserve services before deleting the raaa.chg files you might have destroyed the database. Reinstall Arcserve, create backup jobs and do a special backup of the database intact with all the jobs so you can restore the jobs more easily.

Tims10000,

Thanks - problem turned out to be two orphan instances of asrunjob.exe.

Got rid of them with KILL, and that sorted it out...

Cheers,
