Hello-
I am attempting to run a full backup of my SharePoint farm using the default settings. I am performing the backup via Central Admin (not PowerShell). The target location is a share on another Windows server. I have verified that the target location has adequate space and the proper permissions. Once I start the backup, it simply changes the status to "A backup or restore is currently in progress" and sits there...forever. :) I checked the target and there are no files present. The only way I can change the status is to delete the Backup timer job. Can someone please advise me on how to start my troubleshooting? I don't see anything applicable in the Event Viewer on my SP Central Admin server. Thanks.
