At my Company, I set up a Maintenence Plan to back up one of our Databases (quite large) prior to the monthend processing. This was to ensure if data needed prior to month end load, data would be avaialble. I can run this myself and it works fine, but as a scheduled job it received this error. Does anyone know the answer to this. Additional info is that I set the plan to delete any backup old than three months, which hasn't been reached yet.
Error received -
I've had the very same error occur in the last couple of weeks - I spent some time on the Microsoft Website (Uncle Bill's Domain) and it seems that it relates to the ability of the server to take the database into single-user mode (which it allegedly needs to perform some maintenance tasks (integrity checks in my case)). On my SQL box, it seems that a BackupExec job runs under the NT System Account on the SQL's local OS - this is preventing single-user mode. We are currently looking to kill this BackupExec job for a couple of hours on a Sunday so that the integrity checks can be run. I hope this helps,

I also faced this problem when i schedule a database optimization jon on SQL 7.0 with Sp2 box. Clueless about what cause the problem.

Strangely enough - I have since deleted the job, re-created it (exactly the same tasks as before) and all is now running well.
