have a database maintenance plan that has been migrated from SQLserver 2000 to 2005.
This is a backup plan.
We recently removed few databases from this server.
We have modified the plan accordinly.But still the plan fails.
It backsup all the databases and also still tries to backup the removed databases and finally says the job failed.
The plan history shows an error number :62309

Not sure this is the answer you are looking for, but anyway.

I would delete the plan and create a new one, the time you spend on troubleshooting is way bigger than the time is takes to make ned plan

Yep... I agree with that.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Hopefully they are not removing databases regularly. the plans don't modify well, so if this is a regular problem, I'd stop using the "all user databases" and check each database. You have to remember to check the plan again after adding a db, but I'd make that part of your maintenance.
