Alex McD writes "After I have set up an SQL 2k server with Service Pack 3a on a Windows 2k Advanced Server I created a backup job in SQL which should save the whole database. It overwrites the existing media at night on the same drive as the SQL-Server is installed.
The problem now is that besides the planned backup a second backup file was created and appends the whole db to that "ghost" file everytime the job starts.
I tried to delete and create a new job and backup device but with no effect.
I also deleted every backup job from third party programs that use the SQL-Server."

Run SQL Profiler for a whole day to determine what or who is performing this other backup.
