I'm running BE 2012 (w/ latest updates) and backing up some data shares and an Exchange 2010 server (info store and mailboxes). I have 1 storage device configured (an external USB HD) that all the backups go to. Recently, the backups began having an issue; the job would start and then sit in queued status, never actually backing up any data.
I've stopped and restarted all services, rebooted the server, made sure both the OS and BE have all updates, I've cycled the power on the USB HD, all to no avail. When I run an inventory on the storage, it starts and gives a status of "Running" but it never actually reads any data from the storage device. I've disabled the storage and tried to deleteit so that I can recreate it, but after repointing all the existing jobs, it gives an error:
Unable to delete disk storage - Catastrophic failure
I'm getting pretty frustrated with this, as I'm not getting any backups. I've posted to the Symantec community forums, but I don't have high hopes. Any/all advice or assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
