I have Backup Exec 8.06 running on a XP machine with a HP Surestore dat40 drive (currently....see my other post today). Trying to get a backup of my system. I will set up a backup job and say "run now" and it schedules for the current time and date instead and does absolutely nothing. The software is reading the correct tape, so I know it sees the tape. I was successfully using this drive up until a week ago when I switched in my replacement tape drive (DLT VS80i) of which I'm getting application errors when I run that backup....again, see other post. If I right-click on the "scheduled" job and say "run now", it just adds another SCHEDULED job to the queue. Help!
 
Okay, I'm an idiot!! The server was paused.

Still have the problem with application having an error (see other post earlier today). Hopefully I can get a good backup with this new drive, though.
