I've had the exact same problem a couple of times before -- I had to reboot the master server to recover the ability to run restores. However, I run NBU on Windows 2003 servers, so I have to reboot regularly anyway. I've actually attributed it to too many simultaneous instances of the service that manages restores at one specific time, after which even one instance won't start properly -- the only way I can get it to return to normal is to restart all services at the Windows level (essentially rebooting).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Third times the charm (I hope)


I have asked this question twice before with no answers so I thought I'd try again.

How can I tell why a restore job is queued? I submit restore jobs and they sit in the queue forever. There are plenty of tape drives, the necessary tape is in the library. There are no pending mount requests. A restore to the same client earlier today worked with no problem. I am at my wits end trying to figure this out. Any feedback would be welcome, even if it is just to let me know someone actually read this.

Regards,

Patrick Whelan
