This usually fixes the problem. Faster then rebooting and doesn't down the server for anyone connecting to it. I have seen this happen when a SCSI driver has been corrupted. Is your backup device internal to the server or and external library? In my situation I have an external library. If the library is powered off before the server is shut down the SCSI driver gets messed up. Reinstalling the SCSI driver resolves it. It sounds stupid but it actually works. This solution was given to me by Compaq support so apparently they have seen this before.

Check the Alerts tab to see if there is any entries there. Sometimes you will get an Alert prompting you to Eject or Remove the tape. It may not do anything until you do so, it will just wait for you to respond to that alert. Other things you could, obviously, do is check the NT Event Viewer (assuming its a Windows server) to see if there is any service or application errors there re Backup Exec itself.
