Jobs run, but never backup anything

[itchyfish]

I'm stumped. I'm using Backup Exec 8.6 running on a W2K Quantam Lanvault. I have 4 seperate backup jobs that run on a schedule. DIFF, FULL, MONTHEND, SQL.

Out of these 4 SQL is the only one that runs whether I manually run the job or during it's normal schedule. The other 3 no longer run for whatever reason.

If they are launched during the normal schedule or manually by me - the tape drives never startup and pick a tape to start backing up to. The SQL job does and it does complete it's backup job.

I did restart the Lanvault and I also only restarted the Backup Exec Services to no avail.

I have not changed anything - and am unsure how to fix this. HELP!?

Thanks.

What errors do you see in the log of the failed jobs? Are you backing up the same server with the other jobs? Do the jobs pend or fail. More info would be helpful?

There are no errors logged and the jobs don't fail .. that's the thing ... it just runs and runs and runs and nothing gets backed up. I have to manually kill the backup job. Everything is done from the same server.

I know - not much help .. but this is what I'm facing.

Thanks for the reply.

Do the full and diff jobs backup the same machine that the sql database is on? If you create a new job that backs up one or two files on that machine and run it manually does it complete?

Have you tried recreating the jobs that don't run? They sound corrupt to me. I have seen this before.
