Dear reader,

I have backup exec 12.5 and the jobs I am working with are sceduled to rund outside office hours (after 17:00 until 6:59 the next day) but some of the jobs seem to be run more than once during the night. I have read somewhere that I need to clear or clean the job queue but I have not seen any info on how to do this.

I have also had some instances of jobs being marked as recovered. The nights the recovered jobs appeared the backup server engine crashed.

So if anybody knows how to clear the job queue or has any other ideas about thow to go about this please let me know.

Best regards,
Agust.

Do you have any error

Do you have any error handling rules specified? Also, check schedule, for restart time interval. Make sure it is not set, otherwise the job may restart at intervals mentioned there.

Please mark it a solution, if this is useful.
Thanks

There is one error handling

There is one error handling rule: Recovered Jobs.
In the schedule there is no restart time interval.

It appears, the jobs are

It appears, the jobs are getting to recovered status, because of service crashes. Check event logs for crashes of services during the nightly backup. Does it happen at a specific byte count in the job? Analyse the events around the time of crash for more information.

Thanks
