Janice writes "I have a db that has a maintenance plan that runs a daily backup. The same db also has a backup scenario configured under dbname | All Tasks | Backup Database. The server (windows 2003, sql 2000) is configured for nightly off-site backups using a 3rd party utility. I need to permanently stop the All Tasks | Backup and cannot figure out how to do that. Any help would be appreciated as the .bak file is getting very large.
Thanks."

When the Backup was scheduled it will have created a "Job". Disable, or delete, the job:

Enterprise manager: Management : SQL Server Agent : Jobs : Right click the job

User Properties to see the STEPS for the job (e.g. if the job name is not obvious). Or use the Date/Time of the backup file and the "Last Run Date" in the jobs list to narrow it down
