I had the same issue, but with on 1 policy
and only 1 server in that policy.
Once the window closed it stopped kicking
off jobs.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Serious bug
w/ 6.5.2 (and beyond?): perpetually requeueing jobs, starting this weekend.
We encountered a relatively serious problem with our (HP-UX,
NBU 6.5.2) environments this weekend.
Scheduled backups ran, as expected, Friday and Saturday
evenings. Then, after finishing successfully, new, identical jobs requeued and
ran again. And again. So forth until we shut NBU down completely.
I'm now in the process of installing 6.5.2A (we hadn't
bothered because we hadn't encountered any known 6.5.2 bugs, except for the
initial "full instead of incremental" one, and we were past that),
starting things back up, and hoping that the fix for the "fulls instead of
incrementals" bug will fix this as well. I'll report that when I know.
We have one site that's still 6.5 GA and it was NOT
affected. If you're running anything more recent, you SHOULD check your systems
right now. They're probably still running backups over and over. I say this
because I just checked with my friends at a former employer, a major financial
institution whose name I won't mention because I know their policies, and
they're also affected in environments with Solaris, AIX (maybe?), and Windows
masters. You are probably also affected. Stop reading this and go check. Now.
