Question : SQL Maintenance Plan:  Transaction Log Backup failing

I am running maintenance jobs on my database and the transaction log backup is failing.  Any thoughts?

Answer : SQL Maintenance Plan:  Transaction Log Backup failing

To resolve DB Maintenance Plan failed with Error 22029.

CAUSE:

Selecting the "Backup the transaction log as part of the maintenance plan" option directs SQLMaint.exe to execute a BACKUP LOG command on each database in the plan. Issuing a BACKUP LOG command against a database in SIMPLE recovery model causes the Database Maintenance Plan failed with Error 22029.

Selecting “Attempt to repair any minor problems” check Box in the Database Maintenance Plan Integrity will also cause the Database Maintenance Plan failed with Error 22029.

WORKAROUND:

Open Properties and select .

Uncheck [ ] the “Attempt to repair any minor problems” check box.

Uncheck [ ] the “Back up the transaction log of the database as part of the maintenance plan” check box if the database that you’re backing up, is in the Simple Recovery Model.

NOTE:

Do not perform transaction log backups in DB Maintenance Plan for database that is in SIMPLE Recovery Model.
