Hung Job: Cannot backup while another action is in progress

Post by MLafferty »

A settings backup job gets hung after it starts. I cannot be paused, cancelled, tested, or any other action. All are grayed out even after a reboot. No other back-ups are scheduled until 1:00 AM. This behavior began spontaneously a few months ago. At one point it was possible to delete the job and set a new one one for settings backup. It worked manually. But the next automatic run failed.

Hi,

Is it a large backup job?
If you open Task Manager, can you see the bbackup.exe process running?
If not, in order to stop the backup execution, please kill the bbackup.exe process from Task Manager.

It's a small job, just FBackup settings. It usually only takes a few minutes to run. Once it's run it's stuck. All controls are grayed-out (see attached photo). It has added the text "[Load]" to the job title, and seems to be in a limbo state.

Well thank you. After noodling around a bit more it appears to be hung just loading the job. The back-up was successful. It's just trying to get to the job info. You [probably already figured this out.
