  • HI This is the error log :

    11/29/2008 15:53:11,Differential_BackUp.Subplan_1,Error,0,GIS-SV01,Differential_BackUp.Subplan_1,(Job outcome),,The job failed. The Job was invoked by User SLEMANI-GIS\administrator. The last step to run was step 1 (Subplan_1).,00:00:05,0,0,,,,0,,,

  • Right-click on the Maintenance plan and choose View History from there. This will show you which step failed and you should be able find the actual error message.

    Also - check the logs (SQL Server and Windows) for any error messages.

  • Ok, that's not of much help. I hate the way the errors are cut off.

    See if you can find the job that runs the maint plan. Open the job, find the job step that's failing and open that. Go to the advanced page and where it says Output file, specify a text file. The maint plan will then post the entire error message into that file. That should be a tad more useful.

  • Hmm. That almost looks like the main plan's corrupted. Can you try recreating it? Can you also try backing up to that device not using the maint plan?

  • Yes of course I can make aback up by R.Clicking on the backup device very easy..... and I recreate the maintain plan for backing up and using the backup device it gives the same error.....

  • Hmmm.....

    I know there were some issues with the maintenance plans in SP2. They were fixed in a re-release of SP2, but you've got the initial release of the service pack. Do you have a test server that's exhibiting the same problems? Somewhere you can test installing one or the cumulative updates and see if it resolves the problem?

    This the full error message:

    Okay - this version is the initial SP2 that was released. You should be on a minimum of 9.00.3054 which is the patched version of SP2 that fixed the maintenance plan issues.

    However, the error that you are getting does not appear to be a problem that we saw with that version. It really looks like the type of problem you would see if you are creating the maintenance plan using un-patched client tools.

    Verify the version of the client tools you are using - and see if you can upgrade to at least 9.00.3054.

    Review the following article for more information on SP2 versions:

  • Thank you very much for your replay..

    I downloaded the update service pack, but still i have the problem, and even i can not make a backup plan even without using the backup device.....

    I must make a backup manually....

  • Did you apply the patch to both the server and the machine you're running the client tools from?

  • yes i applied the patch,but it not solve the problem....

  • Please run SELECT @@version on the server and post the results. Please go to the help menu in management studio, select About Management studio and copy the version listed there for management studio and past into a reply.

  • Can you avoid a backup device and just back up to disk?
