Dangling Cleanup

A job phase was terminated by the job manager, and the job manager is waiting for the completion of associated processes before killing the job phase.

Failed

The job failed due to errors or the job was failed by the job manager. For example, the job manager fails a job if the total running time is exceeded. For information on the total running time, see Setting the Total Running Time for Jobs.

Idle

It is applicable to persistent job. It means that the job has transferred some data, is currently idle, and will switch to running later.

Inactive

This state is for Edge Drive. This indicates that the job is not yet completed and currently not doing anything. The inactive jobs are hidden in the Job Controller and might become active later.

Interrupt Pending

The job manager is waiting for the completion of associated processes before interrupting the job due to resource contention with jobs that have a higher priority, etc.

Kill Pending

The job was terminated by the user using the Kill option, and the job manager is waiting for the completion of associated processes before killing the job.

Killed

The job is terminated by the user using the Kill option.

Pending

The Job Manager suspended the job due to phase failure and will restart it without user intervention.

Queued

  • The job conflicted with other currently running jobs (such as multiple data protection operations for the same subclient), and the Queue jobs if other conflicting jobs are active option is enabled. The Job Manager automatically resumes the job when the condition that caused the job to queue clears. For information on setting the Queue jobs if other conflicting jobs are active option, see Queuing Jobs.

  • The activity control for the job type is disabled, and the Queue jobs if activity is disabled option is enabled. The Job Manager automatically resumes the job when the condition that caused the job to queue clears. For information on setting the Queue jobs if activity is disabled option, see Queuing Jobs.

  • The Queue Scheduled Jobs option is enabled. Resume the scheduled jobs manually by using the Resume option, or resumed the scheduled jobs automatically by clearing the Queue Scheduled Jobs option. For information on setting the Queue Scheduled Jobs option, see Queuing Jobs.

  • The job started during the operation window.

  • The running job conflicted with the operation window, and the Allow running jobs to complete pass the operation window option was not enabled from the General tab of the Job Management dialog box. (This is only applicable for jobs that can be restarted. See Restarting Jobs for more information.)

Running

The job is active and has access to the resources it needs.

A job was started in a suspended state using the Start Suspended or Startup in Suspended State options available from the dialog box of the job that was initiated. Restore jobs from Search Console can be started in the suspended state using the Start End User restores in suspended state and Start Compliance restores in suspended state options in the Browse/Search/Recovery Option Dialog box in the Control Panel.

System Kill Pending

The job has been terminated by the Job Manager, and the Job Manager is waiting for the completion of associated processes before killing the job.

Waiting

The job is active but waiting for resources (like, media or drive) to become available or for internal processes to start.
