are backups not successful?

Hello:
A client of mine is using SQL Server 2000 and has constructed a database
maintenance job to do "Complete Backup" and "Transaction Log Backup".
In another thread, I had asked why the job was not deleting its own backups
files as the job is configured to delete backups after one day.
Someone had replied and said that the deletions will not take effect until
the backup job completes successfully.
Since the backup files are not deleting, does that mean that the backup job
is not being successful?
If that's the case, then, I don't know what the client is doing wrong. It's
not hard to set up a backup job in the database maintenance plan.
I mean, does the SQL Server Service need to be stopped in order for these
backups to take place successfully?
Thanks!
childofthe1980sHi,
Before i suggest u any thing just check the maintinance plan log file.
--
It is not true that backup will not delete till the next backup is
successful.
Check maintinance plan again and make sure that u had selected one
day(delete old files)
check the path on the backup.
hope this helps
