    121SUSPENDED NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM . DB1 BACKUP DATABASE

    121RUNNABLE . .DB1 BACKUP DATABASE

  • You need to identify the blocking chain, which process is causing it to stop. Or, you need to identify the resource that it's waiting on in order to understand which process is holding that resource. I think that information is available through sp_who2, but that's a very old school method for retrieving information about things running on the system. You'd be better off using dynamic management views. For some good examples of queries that will help you, look to this book (it's free to download).
