| Here is my situation, I am backing up two databases on a periodic basis, however one database gets backed up without any issues, the other database gives me the following error message. I have done quite a lot of research, but have not found a solution to this problem. Here is the error thats being generated - "BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG [R1MaxCRM] TO DISK = N'D:\SQL Backups\R1MaxCRM\R1MaxCRM_tlog_200709120000.TRN' WITH INIT , NOUNLOAD , NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT"Can someone point me in the right direction. |

| Is the db in simple recovery model? If so, you can't backup log of it. You can also check sql server log for detailed reason of failure. |
