Backup Job Failing

I have an SSIS package that does one simple thing: perform a FULL backup of a database.

I executed this package yesterday at 2:00. The package backs up to four individual files on a network share. The network share is accessible from the SQL Server. THe database in question is 245GB in size.

The package was running fine when I left for the day. When I got in today, there was an error in the SQL Server log:

Error: 3041, Severity: 16, State: 1.

BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE ServicingODS. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.

Where is this infamous backup application log?!? The Event Viewer says the same thing. Needless to say, the error message is a bit vague.

There were no "issus" overnight (power outages, network issues, etc.)

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi A.M

If you check the SQL server error log, there should be another line of error above the message that you have posted.

Could you please check and post a few lines from above and below the message you have already posted.
