backup job

I have set up a scheduled backup job and the owner is set to john. The
scheduled backup job always failed no matter it manually run or scheduled. I
use query analyzer and login as john and copy the script from the job and
execute it and IT RUN. OK, I change the job owner to sa and it runs. Can
anyone please tell me why the job run in query analyzer but not in Enterprse
Manager and how to fix it? Thanks.
What job step type? Is John an SQL Server or a Windows login? What exact error for the job? If you
define an output file for the jobstep, what error(s) do you see there?

|||John is a SQL Server login and no windows login and it is assigned as system
administrator role in SQL server. When I looked at the job log in EM, it
said "failed to run at certain time". Please help. Thanks.

|||This is what I got from output file:
************************************************** ************************
Job 'pure backup - wed' : Step 1, 'Step 1' : Began Executing 2005-12-08
09:28:00
Msg 916, Sev 14: Server user 'guest' is not a valid user in database 'pure'.
[SQLSTATE 08004]
Msg 3013, Sev 16: BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE
42000]
************************************************** *********************************
pure is the database I want to backup. The strange things I realized is that
John is the owner of the scheduled job but why guest user is involved in the
scheduled job according to the output file. Can you please help? Thanks.

|||So it is a TSQL job step. What database is it defined to run in? Make sure it runs in the master
database and do *not* perform USE within the TSQL code. Always do your BACKUP and RESTORE from the
master database.
