Re: backup stuck on EVTW? 3 days & counting

Yep - seen it once or twice.  Never did get to the bottom of it with IBM. 
Very unlikely to reoccur if you restart the backup.

Well, I almost hate to ask since this is such an old box (9406-D60)
running V3R2, but...

For some strange reason, our Friday morning backup just plain up and
stopped running, well, it's showing on WRKACTJOB that it's status is
EVTW, and I can only presume it's been that way since Friday morning.
Normally, the job completes by 4:30 a.m.  The job's job log shows that
the first 20 or so libraries were saved successfully and then, bam!,
nothing.  No message waiting in QSYSOPR, although when I checked a few
hours ago, the message queue wrapped so that the earliest message
occurred two hours after the last library was saved.  I checked DSPLOG,
and nothing seems out of whack there, either.  I am presuming that the
tape was ejected by the time the morning crew came in Friday morning
since they always call me when this doesn't happen.

Has anyone seen this before?  FWIW, here's the call stack:
