What happens when you run BACKUP LOG from Query Analyzer?

You might consider writing your own maintenance stored procedures as the maintenance plans do not give much information to help you troubleshoot the problems. Check out my custom stored procs that can replace maintenance plans:

It turns out that the DLT drive was ejecting the tape after the first job of the maintenance plan and causing the error. Sorted it with a WITH NOUNLOAD clause.

Tara great blog content. Thank you.
I don't have Enterprise Edition. Does your log shipping environment/setup rely on maintenance plans?

Yes currently we use log shipping from Enterprise Edition, so yes maintenance plans. We are moving away from that and going with clustering between two locations over a WAN.

Thats a bad idea....if you had to switch from the 7.0 server to the other one, you would not be able to switch back.

Also, you should have started a seperate topic for this.

--You can if you set the compatability mode on the 2000 server. I wouldn't recommend it though. You really need to upgrade the 7.0 box to 2000. Why haven't you done this?

Also, please don't double post.

Yes, look up log shipping and restoring transaction logs in the Books Online. It will give you a lot of background that you need.
