    3.I set the bak files to delete older than 2 days.

    4.It's not running Transactional Logs.

    5.The size of the databse is 96 Gigs

    Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.).

  • Are you backing up to tape or to a local drive?  This is generally a hardware error, as I'm sure you've guessed.  Have you done a read/write stress diagnostic on the drive/s?  When you run this query, what do you get?

    SELECT * FROM master..sysmessages WHERE error = 17055 ?
