  • Add logging to the maintenance plan. the logging from the job isn't great (as you can see).

    Is this db in simple mode?

  • The system dbs are in simple mode.

    All userdbs are in full recovery mode.

  • You can't backup the transaction log of databases using the simple recovery model. In addition, master can not be changed from simple recovery model.

    You should seperate the system and user database backups.

  • It is seperated. it is only backup tlog for all user dbs

  • Hard to read the error message. Just a guess at this point, but it looks like it couldn't create a subdirectory. Two possibilities, permissions or lack of space.
