David writes "I have been trying unsuccessfully to schedule backups of my SQL Server 2000 databases to devices set up on the server hard drive. I have been able create the devices without any problem and also run a backup of the databases to their backup devices successfully. However, when I attempt to schedule the backup in Enterprise Manager-Management-Backup nothing happens. It allows me to schedule apparently succesfully, but no actual backup takes place. I have tried many times; I have recreated the devices; I have used different databases; I have tried different schedules i.e. one time only, recurring, etc.; nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated!"

Is the SQL Server Agent Service running? Is the system time correct? What does EM display as the 'Next Run Date' for the job?
