I have been successfully running a database backup script on a server which has sybase 8. However I've recently changed my DB over to another server which has sybase 9 (same script structure) and the scheduled task does not work when scheduled. It does work when you manually either click on the task or run it from the command prompt. When scheduled it appears to run but the db is not in the backup directory as it should be and the log file says "warning: Engine Shareholder not running. Backup continues....." shareholder is the name of the DB. Has anyone seen or heard of this before? Thanks.
