Try to manually run a job but it shows up as scheduled

[EnochChum]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to run some restore jobs but when I look in the activity monitor, its job statusjust shows up as scheduled. Is there a reason for this? Or do I need to reboot the machine and server?

Thanks in advance,
Enoch

It's possible that some previous job has not finished, and your job is scheduled to run as soon as the other job finishes.

The reason why it's scheduled is that maybe when you are trying to restore the file or whatever it is you are restoring, the proper user account has not been set accordingly. I once had this problem too and once I figured out that the account profile needed to be applied to the job when restoring I was able to get it to run without any problems after that point.

Let me know what happens?
