[Veritas-bu] Backups not running, just stuck at Connecting.
Thanks for everyone reply. Much appreciated. Managed to solve the problem by rebooting the server. Still don't know what was the real cause behind it all. Strange !

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backups not running, just stuck at Connecting.
Might be a total shot in the dark, but check on the client to see if you have any bpstart scripts that run. Windows (eg:, C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Netbackup\bin\bpstart_notify*.bat) Unix (eg: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpstart_notify*) Maybe a script is waiting on something...

If the log directories are in place, go to /usr/openv/netbackup/logs. Look for entries in directories like bpcd, bprd, and bptm. Hopefully you will find some clues in there. If these directories are not here, create them and then stop/start NetBackup, and run the jobs again. I had a similar issue on mine where I ran a job from the master for a media server. The media server went into mount request but did not show up on the master. I had to go to the media server to find the issue and confirm the mount request after putting in more tapes. There isn't much in your current post about the environment (OS, master/media servers, policy type that hangs, tape libraries,etc) so I don't know what may apply. Hope this helps.
