Hi

I am having a weird problem with a phantom backup running on several dbs on my sql server - the backup runs just after 4am each morning and does not appear in my list of jobs -

here is an excerpt from the logs:

Database backed up with following information: Database: master, creation date and time: 2004/04/01(10:18:15), pages dumped: 1243, first LSN: 102:23:1, last LSN: 102:25:1, sort order: 54, striped: 0, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=DISK: {'E:\master.16'}).

this also happens for model and msdb etc. the directory 'E:\master.16' doesn't exist though?

Can anyone tell me where else I can check? The problem is that these phantom backups appear to be corrupt and mess with my scheduled backups...

Thanks

G

Well it looks like another case of lack of communication - apparently someone here installed some remote backup software that backs up some databases remotely, and it looks like enterprise manager is picking these up...

:) The backups exec sql server agents actually use the SQL Server agent to do their backup. DOH.
