backup error

Hi all,
Sql server 7.0
I have backup job which takes the backup of the databases
at particular time once in a day. when i go to the
destination i can see the backup is taken and find
the .bak file in it. but i am getting the following error
message in sql error logs pls help me in identifying and
resolving this problem
BackupVirtualDeviceSet::Initialize: Open failure on backup
device 'BackupExecSqlAgent_Bas_BBC_PUND_00'. Operating
system error -2147024894(The system cannot find the file
specified.).
TIA
Seems you are using BackupExec. I suggest you discuss this when them, as the error suggests that SQL
Server cannot write to the virtual backup device...

It seems like backup in your case takes for a while and client
just doesn't wait til end of it.
Connection timeout
