Arcserve 2000 Backup Job Looping?

[munkeymagic]

I'm running Windows NT4 with service pack 6a, Arcserve 2000 service pack 3 (build 1086). The problem is the backup job starts backing up ok runs through all of the client backups (Not using the Client Agent) and then starts backing up the first server again. I don't have retry missed files after the job selected.

The only thing that has changed is we had 2 backup jobs, 1 backing up all of the servers and the other just backing up the Arcserve DB all this is now under just 1 job.

1) Has anybody else had this problem and know what the cause is?
2) Does anybody have a link to all of the fixes that Service Pack 4 is supposed to fix?

Any help would be brill!

Normally after the job it would backup itself.
Are you sure it is backing up the whole server again?

Yes, its backs up 4 servers including its self. Once its finished backing its self up, its starts again backing up server 1's drives. This only started happening when the backup job ws modified to include the arcserve database. I have taken that option out again to see if it continues to do it. Will post back my results next week.
