Wierd Backup Issue with SQL Server 2000

  • We have a SQL database that will not backup if you try to backup it up inside Enterprise Manager.  However if you run a backup job using SQL Agent the database will back up.  Has anyone seen this before?

    Thanks

  • What happens? check the Windows and SQL logs when it fails.

  • What credentials is the SQL Agent using ?

    What credentials is the SQL Job using ?

    What credentials is the EM using ?

  • Thanks for the replies, I will double check what you both mentioned.  Would have replied sooner but the notifications that you both replied to my post were stuck in the spam filter for our mail.  Let you know what I find out.

    Thanks Again

  • The EM and SQL Agent are configured to use the Local System Account and the Backup Job is configured to use the local admin account. 

  • Another question ... are you performing the backup to a local drive or a mapped drive ?
