    I have serveral instances installed on the sql server. I can backup the default instance using a maintenance plan. Cannot backup the named instance using a maintenance plan created on that instance. No errors, just does not backup at 2am.

    We had some similar problems. It was a long time ago, but i know it had to do with the owner of the backup jobs. Has the owner permissions on de backup directory? Is the owner of the default instance different?

    What OS and SP are you running ? What version of SQL and SP are you running ? Have the maintenance plans ever functioned correctly on the instance in question ? Are all of the instances 'full' SQL instances or is it a mix of 'full' and MSDE ?

    We are using sqlserver 2000 no sp. I will search for lastest sp and install it. The permissions appear to be the same for the default and named instances. The named instance maintenance plans have never worked. I can backup the database using enterprise manager manually.

    If you backup manually, you have not the same permissions as when you backup using a job. When you are doing a backup using a job, the user of sql server agent is the one that counts.

    What account(s) are running the SQL Server Service and the SQL Agent Service ? Are they LocalSystem ? Local COMputer accounts ? Domain User Accounts ?

     

    Where is you backup target ? What computer/drive/directory ?

    I experienced the same problem and I just resolved it.  I performed a minimum install of one of my instances and I could not perform any of my jobs that were created via the maintenance wizard.  I then started comparing this instance to one that had the typical install and found that there were a few files that were missing.  The one that corrects this issue is located in the BINN\Resources\1033 directory.  The file name is "SQLMAINT.RLL"

    I copied this file from the instance that had the complete install and this corrected my problem.

    I hope this helps you...

     

    Thanks
