backup failed

hey
Sql Server 2005
I have Sql Server 2005 installed on a server. Each night the Sql Server
Agent start a job. This job fails. I wonder what causing this job to fail.
I've checked in Event viewer and it doesn't say more than "the job failed,
the job was invoked by Schedule 2 (backup_db), the last step to run was 1
(subplan)"
Any ideas how to find what causing this? Could I manually start this Sql
Server Agent job and then see what causing the job to failed?
This job have been running for months, it's only during the last 3 days it
started to fail
Basically I want to fix this job so it get completed successfully, so I
thought knowing what causing it to fail could help solving the problem...
but the main thing is that I want the job to complete successfully
any suggestions?Jeff
Please specify an output file in the step of the job (Steps--Edit--Advanced)
and see what is going on

First check the job history information. Right-click your job, View History
and click the + sign to see the job steps.
Also, check the SQL Server error log for related error messages.
Hope this helps,

It sounds like you are not looking at the steps in the job history. Also
check out the SQL Server error log to see if anything has been written.
Which version of SQL Server are you running (SELECT @.@.VERSION)? It sounds
like this job is from a maintenance plan, you could try dropping the plan and
re-creating it.

On one of the rows with red stop icon, I read this error message:
Could not generate mail report.An exception occurred while executing a
Transact-SQL statement or batch.No global profile is configured. Specify a
profile name in the @.profile_name parameter.
any suggestions?|||Hi Jeff
It looks like it is having problems sending the email notification. Try
changing the maintenance plan to remove these. There is probably a notify
operator task that needs to be re-configured. Also check that you can send
test emails for database mail and SQL Agent mail configuration (in the
properties)

It may be that the account had been disabled but the mailbox remained until
more recently!!
At least everything works now!

tryed to execute it it gave me this error message:
Execute Maintenance Plan
An exception occured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch
(Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectInfo)
SqlServerAgent Error: Request to run job backup_db (from <domain>\Jeff)
refused because the job is already running from a request by User

I'm not sure how the first error message was (I tryed to execute the
maintenance plan twice)...
strange if I should get an error that the job is already running...
well, maybe it was caused by my user account, which not a member of the
local administrator on that server, but I'm a member of the administrators
in the domain
any suggestions?|||Hi
Did you try to execute the job or the maintenance plan? If you look at the
view history of the plan it may have something in for the last run, if it is
still running then it would be incomplete information.

should check the history for any detailed error messages about the running
job if there is any.
