Tape backup problem on win 2000 server

[Wagner]

Hi,
I'm trying to put scheduled tape backup job to work but without success. It
works fine when I start backup manually through wizard, but scheduled job
never succeeds. I created scheduled backup job by backup wizard.

Also scheduled backup through SQL server on the same machine worked fine.

What do the logs for the failed backup jobs say?

In my experience this is caused by running the scheduled
task as a user who is not a backup operator. Anyway, that's
what I'd check first.

I *think* that a scheduled task is run as "System Account"
and I'm not sure that this account is a backup operator.
Could easily be wrong.

Anyway, to check, I'd add a user to the Backup Operators and
run the scheduled task as that user to see if it works.

Cheers.
