SQL Server 7 Backup Problems

I am having problems trying to get SQL server Agent to run an
unattended backup of my databases.

I setup (or think I did) a schedule in maintenance but it doesn't
work.

Is there a website or link where I can get step by step instructions
for setup of a backup using sql server agent or anything regarding
unattended backups in sql server 7?
Any help is appreciated

Does the SA account and password match an accout on your server that has
authority to perform the backup?
Check the logs in SQL Enterprise Manager. Your installation may be
different, but you should find the logs in a SQL Enterprise Manager location
similar to this:

Console Root/Microsoft SQL Servers/SQL Server Group/[Server Name
Here]/Management/SQL Server Logs/[Log Names]

One more tip... you might use Maintenance Plans instead of SQL Server
Agent/Jobs to do your un-attended backups.

Here's a weird one. I'm running SQL Server 7 and when I run a backup something weird happens. When I perform the backup via Enterprise Manager by right clicking on the database I want to backup, I click on OK but no progress blocks show up in the window showing you the status of the backup. The completion window pops up saying that the DB has been backed up. OK--Fine, maybe the backup is really quick. Then, through Explorer, I look...

I have a client who wishes to upsize an A97 system from Jet backend to SQL Server 2000. They have up to 4 users. Will they need to buy the minimal 5-seat SQL Server product, or would it be cheaper to upsize the front end to A2K, A2K2 or A2K3 and use the version of SQL Server provided with that? The system uses local tables extensively and I would not want to disturb this. Enterprise manager would be a requirement. TIA

Hello All, I apology for posting to many groups but I wasn't sure which group would be best targeted with my question. I have inherited an ASP.Net application that requires some maintenance & bug fixes. I have been asked to also download a copy of the remote SQL Server database that it uses on the background for potential maintenance and changes as well.

hi. i need to restore an old database. The db was backed up using a DLT drive, using 2 volumes. The content for the tapes was copied to file onto Solaris machine using rsh and dd (for backup purposes). Now, the drive is defective and can't read the tapes anymore. Server is AIX 4.3.2 and database is IBM DB2 Server (DB2 for AIX Version 2.1.2)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
