backup failed

Hi Jeff,
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,

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!

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.
