Backing Up XAction Log with DB Maint Mgr

I noticed that someone else had a similar problem to
mine. I followed the advice (verified that my database is
the only one in the maintenance plan (does not include
master or msdb)). Yet my Transaction Log backup still
fails with the same message:
"The job failed. The Job was invoked by User U1ST074SORTS2
\rdenison. The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1)."
"sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The
step failed."
Any other ideas? I'm really interested in resolving this
because my Xaction log gets huge, especially on a
distributor server.
Roger.

Try the backup log command from Query Analyzer and see if that works...
