| When I backup one of my database as a part of a maintenance plan the backup fails. It succeeds for the other db's in the maint plan but when it comes to this particular db it fails. I can manually run a backup to the same backup destination listed in the maint plan. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

| It is only 1.4GB This is actually smaller than the other two db's. Also I forgot to mention that the full backup works. It is the transaction log that fails. |

| What is the recovery mode of the database? if you are in Simple mode then Transaction Log Backups will fail.-- RegardsTony The DBA |
