Backup Failure

  • I am having backup failure to my database. I am not sure why either.

    EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_sqlmaint N'-PlanID 3A33DB99-EB66-4A30-BAA7-A170A05DB2E4 -WriteHistory -VrfyBackup -BkUpMedia DISK -BkUpDB -UseDefDir -DelBkUps 2DAYS -BkExt "BAK"'

    Thats my sql that I run to backup my db and here are my error messages I get from Query Analyzer.

    (5 row(s) affected)

    Server: Msg 22029, Level 16, State 1, Line 0

    sqlmaint.exe failed.

    Any Help?:unsure:

  • Your directory structure may differ, but this is where I find my output files for the maintenance plans run on one of my servers:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG

    Look there and you should be able to figure out what the problem is with your backups.

  • I have also faced this issue many times , no exact solution obtained , but if u delete any one of the jobs like int or opt or backup created using same Maintenance plan, then this error pops , recreate the plan , better to create individual maintenance plan to Backup , integrity and optimization plans , also check the service pack level
