Permissions to backup MSSQL7/backup folder...

[JennyPeters]

Hi,

We have a tape backup plan that backs up the MSSQL7/backup folder every night at 3:00am.

For some reason, the folder MSSQL7/backup gets denied every once in a while, stating the tape backup doesn't have permission to back up it. It does of course, and often works fine.

I do have a maintenance plan in SQL Server that backs up at 2:00am, but that backup only takes about 27 seconds, thus, surely not interfering with the tape backup.

There is nothing else scheduled.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jenny
