Backup Exec 11d for Windows Issues, Server Paused

It appears that the latest hot fixes for 11d have royally screwed up my BE 11d install. My server says "Server Paused" so the jobs do not start, I have manually put the jobs to run. Doing differentials I've had them get stuck on the System State of one server for 2 days straight. This is SO frustrating.. any ideas?

And I've tried to make them pause/unpause (under devices) and it doesn't seem to help.

Restarting the services doesn't help, nor does rebooting the box. I can't test the other stuff right now since the full backup job is running at the moment.

I used to use Arcserve 11.5 and BE 11d has been in many ways a step backwards..

Removeable Storage was disabled when I installed BE. Arcserve hasn't been uninstalled, but the services are set to disabled, and it was working fine until I installed the latest BE hotfixes (which one broke it, who the heck knows)

BE is very frustrating, since Symantec purchased Veritas apparently its so bad that EVERYONE is complaining about BE. Sucks.. Arcserve wasn't perfect, but it sure seemed more stable than this!

And check if http://support.veritas.com/docs/288393 is the problem. It doesn't mention a paused server, but it does report scheduling issues.

This BE software is very buggy, I managed to get the Server Paused issue fixed as Mr-Madcowz explained.. so hopefully that will resolve the issues with the backups. I will check the differential tommorow morning and hopefully it will be solved.

Thanks to everyone, I'll give points in the morning, going into a meeting!
