In Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0, when the backup service (SMS_BACKUP) runs, the backup may not finish. Additionally, the Tlist.exe process may stop responding. When this problem occurs, the SMS_EXECUTIVE service and the SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER service are stopped. By design, SMS_BACKUP stops these services during the backup. However, SMS_BACKUP does not restart these services when the backup is not finished.
When this problem occurs, entries that are similar to the following may appear near the end of the Smsbkup.log file on the SMS 2.0 site server:
