I assume you are using Windows backup? Are you trying to backup a SQL database while it is running? You can't do that. You have to back it up within SQL.

i am assuming yes. but the weird thing is it was always working until a few days ago. i havent change anything. and in the first few times, after i restarted the volume shadow copy service, the system would start backing up. but now it will not. is there any reason?

i think you are right. i have change the backup directory and will monitor it from now on. by the way, is the volume shadow copy service supposed to be running all the time or only will be invoked upon any application request?
thanks
Thanks for the update. The volume shadow service should stay on, but it only runs when needed.
reply to "TBone2K:

actually i found that the volume shadow copy server will stop itself on this server and the backup for last night fail again. do you know what has caused this service to stop? i have already configured it to not to back up DB. thanks
If there is an error associated with this stoppage, searching the eventid may be helpful. However, this is probably a separate problem and should be posted as a new question to get the most attention from the appropriate experts.
