Backup Schedules Failing

We have got backups set regularly each day. A full backup early in the
morning then a partial one every hour. These run time and the jobs for them
are in the SQL-SERVER Agent. After a few weeks the partial backups start to
fail. The full backups are fine. There is plenty of space an no errors in
the logs. When looking at the partial backups unser SQL-Server agent and
looking at the the schedule the box matked Enable is unchecked. We reset
the backup by clicking this box. It runs fine for a few wekes when it fials
again and the box has become unchecked? Has anyone got any ideas why this
might happen?
What version and service pack ? Might be related to

Backup Schedule Troubles

Some how, I've managed to create a backup (disk backup) with three different
schedules. At 6pm each day, the database backups three times (three
different names).
What I'd like to have is... each Monday the previous Monday's backup would
be overwritten, each Tuesday the previous Tuesday's backup would be
overwritten, etc...
Now, I can't figure out how to remove the schedules, as it appears that I
only see one schedule and destination when I go in to the backup.
How do I get to a "clean slate" and accomplish my ideal backup scenario.
Thanks.Check under management, SQL Server Agent, Jobs.
