Force failure on backups not progressing

Hi,

 

I found one of my colleagues destroyed one of the server we backed up via File System agent without previously de-configuring it in Commvault. That ended up in a backup job stuck in pending status on “scan” phase during days.

Is there any way to force a backup to be killed if it is stuck in a specific task and it has no progress after some time, possibly without using workflows?

Thanks!

Are you not able to just right click and Kill the job? Eventually, after some retries the job should auto-clear itself too.

Thanks Hyder,

Obviously I was looking for a method that doesn’t imply human actions but I didn’t specify that, my fault :).

Woops my bad, I completely skipped over that part! The built in option kills it after 24hrs automatically. In Control Panel → Data → Job Management you can control to some level a global parameter for the behavior.

Thanks!

That looks promising!
