Check your Event Logger and your backup logs to see what's
going on. The backup logs are in your profile folder; they are
called backup??.log.

You don't need to restart the server to shut down the backup
process. Just kill it from the Task List, or use kill.exe from the
Win2000 Resource Kit.

I've never had any luck killing NTBackup from the task list.

kill.exe is good though.
