Yea, we went through all that as well. I got tired of trying to explain it to my duck. Creating the separate job was the only solution, silly as it sounds..

The job just failed earlier. Unfortunately, one of the changes to BEX9 includes using NDMP for agent communications. A side affect is that, communications failures with one agent can cause the entire job to fail from that point. Example, Exchange server third out of 15, first 2 servers backup successfully, Exchange gets error, job throws up hands in confusion and doesn't attempt to backup any other servers. 13 servers fail...
