  • The error message does not say what went wrong, so I don't know whether anyone can help much without more information.

    Did you check whether you have sufficient disk space for the backup?

  • Get the job to log to a file to get the full error message dumped out so that we can see the actual error.

  • Get the job / step to log to file to get the full error message written to file, this is only a snippet of the error due to the size of the column in msdb

  • Try to use this code to get the error messages

    CREATE PROC [sys].[sp_readerrorlog](

    @p1 INT = 0,

    @p2 INT = NULL,

    @p3 VARCHAR(255) = NULL,

    @p4 VARCHAR(255) = NULL)

    AS

    BEGIN

    IF (NOT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER(N'securityadmin') = 1)

    BEGIN

    RAISERROR(15003,-1,-1, N'securityadmin')

    RETURN (1)

    END

    IF (@p2 IS NULL)

    EXEC sys.xp_readerrorlog @p1

    ELSE

    EXEC sys.xp_readerrorlog @p1,@p2,@p3,@p4

    END

    This procedure takes four parameters:

    Value of error log file you want to read: 0 = current, 1 = Archive #1, 2 = Archive #2, etc...

    Log file type: 1 or NULL = error log, 2 = SQL Agent log

    Search string 1: String one you want to search for

    Search string 2: String two you want to search for to further refine the result

  • With the native maintenance plan, if someone creates a new database without taking a FULL backup, then your TLog backup job will fail. It may not be the case here but doesnt hurt to double check.

    Ola Halengren's maintenance script is way better.

    Ola Halengren's maintenance script is way better.

    I couldn't agree more with this statement. The stock maintenance plans are better than nothing, but not much better. My advice would be to get rid of them completely and replace them with something better.

    If you're so inclined, writing your own is an excellent way to learn about how things work under the hood. It takes some work, but if you have the time, it's an excellent way to learn.

  • Try viewing the history of the maintenance plan itself....generally the info is there
