Backup Exec server not available

Greetings,

After configuring numerous backup jobs with an additional duplicate to tape job (practically identical other than the backup target), two of the jobs' status shows as "Ready; Backup Exec server not available". They remain in this state until the job fails with a status of "Missed". Meanwhile, all other jobs run normally. We have only one backup server. Has anyone dealt with this before? Not finding anything via web search.

Thanks,

Pootytang

    For anyone that might be experiencing this, I resolved by Inventorying the media listed in the job's previous Full backup job that I was trying to duplicate.

    Had this issue and wanted to add another option.

    We tried solution but it didn't work. May have been because the Fulls we had were removed.

    We adjusted the start time for the duplicate tape.
