Database Maintnenance Plan

Good Afternoon
I am using database maintenance plans in order to perform
Backups, including optimisation, index re-builds etc.
The problem is that I have discovered that the Maintenance
Plans do not always perform the Backup, although the rest
of the plans perform normally: -
Two Maintenance Plans performing Full Backup, one at
midday and one in the evening, monday to friday, deleting
old files, re-building indexes, re-sizing databases and
optimising unused space.
Two Maintenance Plans performing Transaction Log Backups,
one from 08:00 to 11:00 and the other 13:00 to 18:, monday
to friday, deleting old files and re-building indexes.
There is plenty of space on the Server to allow for the
Backups. E.g. The drive for the Transaction Log Backups
has over 5Gb of space available, the collective size of
the Backups never total more than 350Mb.
I created these Maintenance Plans, and I am registered on
the SQL Server as a System Administrator.
Thank You In Advance
Tony C.
Make sure that you have specified a report file for the maint plan and check that file for error messages.

|||Thanks for this, the Maintenance Plans were producing the
Logs..
It would seem that one of the Applications we are using
can hold up other Transactions when it is left in a
certain state, I've therefore got a bit of debugging to
do!!
