Check the SQL error log. Are you seeing recovery model changes? Do you have any other scheduled jobs that do anything to the log (including truncate it)? Do you have any 3rd party backup tools running against this database?

What version, since it's clear now that it's not a SQL 2000 database?

I viewed the error log and this is what I saw:

2013-04-05 09:39:45.75 Backup BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE MSNDirectPay. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.

So your full backups are failing?

If that's the case, and this wasn't an isolated failure, there may well not be a current database backup. What backup tool are you using for backups there? That's not a native backup failure message.
