I am going through the maintenance plan to create a schedules backup.
Everything seems fine until the final stages of the backup schedule setup when the system gives the following error.
create failed for jobStep SubPlan.

p.s I am not sure how to attached a snapshot of the error message.

Thanks

this is your key here but since it's a wizard, how do you troubleshoot...

i suggest you create your own backup jobs for easier management
