Are you running those backups from scripts? Can you post the scripts you are using? It sounds like the script might be logging failures but the steps are still completing...is that correct?

Is 'g:\mssql\backup\abcd\abcd_g1_yr2011mo9da1hr21mi31.bak' a network location, or local to the server?

Is it a compressed folder?

Any chance the G: drive was full, at the time?

Doy ou want to troubleshoot why the backup failed or why the log says success when it failed? If it's the second than look at the advance properties of your job step; does it say "On failure action: quit the job reporting failure"?

Backup failed because of space issue only... my question is why its shown as success in job history if backup fails ...

i set if failure report as "On failure action: quit the job reporting failure" only

but its showing success..

Is the backup generated by a stored procedure that you have written?

Maybe your Sproc is returning 0 even if the error occurs?
