Hi ,

let me know you are taking backup to local disk or network path . i guess you are taking backup to network path and backup sizes are also big .

possible reason :

the backup failed due to network issue or in b\w the network was disconnected .

possible soluation:

1. improve the network performance b\w your local system and network path and some times

reran the job also will solve the problem.

2.suppose your databases are very big then stripe and take backup to net work path.

3. put retry option on your backup step.
