Same here, we see it on occasion.   We run 7.6.2.7 on our machines.
Happens maybe once a month, or so. 

Like Matthew said, just kill the job, and start it back up, it's ok. 

The big issue is catching it, as we have so many jobs that are running
all of the time, it's difficult to catch a "stuck" job, as it never
fails.

cancels or completes

I have seen this on occasion here but it has mainly been on my windows
server groups. I have not had this happen on the other flavors of OS. We
are
running Legato Networker 7.5.3 writing to a SAM/QFS file system on the
back
end. So it has nothing to do with the tape process b/c our networker
servers
never see any tape. The SAM/QFS back end takes care of the two copies
for us
so no overhead of cloning. I have always wondered if anyone else had
seen
this same type of thing. There is nothing in the logs of the clients or
the
group that say any error. I generally just stop and the restart the job
and
it fires right off.
