Backup using Maintainence Plan fails

  • Extremely grateful for any help. I am trying to create a simple MaintPlan to back up a complete DB using the MaintWizard but is failing and I get the message below.

    Also the version installed is Sql 2k5 9.00.1399.06 (RTM). do I have to fully patch up SP2 in order to get this working?

    Create maintenance plan failed

    Create failed for jobstep 'Subplan'. [Microsoft SqlServer.MaintenancePlan Tasks]

    An Exception occurred while executing a transact-SQL statement or batch.

    [Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo]

    The specified '@subsystem' is invalid [valid values are returned by sp_enum_sqlagent_subsystems]. [Microsoft SQL Server. Error 14234]

    Thanks in advance

  • As you have mentioned you are in RTM version, I would suggest it will be better if you apply SP2.

  • Applying SP2 and installing the Integration Services did the trick. Thanks all

  • Also view and install from KB934458 at the very minimum for running maintenance plans. This should bring you up to 9.00.3054.

  • Lot of Bugs has been fixed in SP1 and SP2. Just check microsoft site for that they have listed number of bugs being fixed in SSIS and MP.

  • Hi,

     

    Even i am facing the same problem, dunno what to do? Please help me !

  • Hi,

     

    My SQL version is 9.0.1399

    Do i have to install SP1 first and then install SP2 or Can i install SP2 straight away?

     

  • I got this error message when I tried to install SQL Server 2005 SP2

    the image file hotfix.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine error message while installing SQL service pack 2

     

    Please guide me

  • First you need to install sp1 followed by sp2 in order to full upgrade of binary files.

  • I got the same error hofix.exe

    even when i tried to install SP1

  • How do I sort this error

    the image file hotfix.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine

  • I don't believe you need to install SP1 first. From the Microsoft website:

    "Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is now available. SQL Server 2005 service packs are cumulative, and this service pack upgrades all service levels of SQL Server 2005 to SP2."
