Backup Maintenance Plan

I am using SQL 2005 std in a cluster configuration.
The problem is running a backup using the maint. plan. I can setup the plan
a schedule the job, however, when the job runs the message I get is
Date 5/12/2006 8:39:01 AM
Log Job History (Maint Plan)
Step ID 1
Server <Server Name>
Job Name Maint Plan
Step Name Subplan
Duration 00:00:01
Sql Severity 0
Sql Message ID 0
Operator Emailed
Operator Net sent
Operator Paged
Retries Attempted 0
Message
Executed as user: <domain name>\sqlsvc. The package execution failed. The
step failed.
I have extended logging turned on but this is the only message I get. I got
this to run once, and that was the first time I setup the plan, I ran it by
right clicking and start job. I have SSIS installed and the SQL agent and
DTC are running.
Thanks for any help.
BrandonDatabase backup errors are logged in the SQL Server Log. Look there for more
information. If the backup was succesfull the information should be there too.

in the job log.

workstation, you have to be logged into the server and create it there. Even
more if you have a cluster server the active server needs to be the creator.
If you need to edit the plan it also has to be done from the active server.
If you try to edit it from a workstation it will break.
