I've encountered an error while performing a database backup. I can't seem to
find this error anywhere:

BACKUP failed to complete the command master.dbo.sp_sqlexec;1

Does anyone have any insight into this error?

Thank You!

How do you execute the backup? For troubleshooting purposes, try executing a BACKUP command from
Query analyzer.

The backup is executed as a scheduled job. This job has been running for
months without any issues - then suddenly...

When run manually, works just fine...

Is it a TSQL job? How many jobsteps does the job contain? Where did you get the error message from?
The job output of a job step in the job?

If you are uncertain, define a different output file for each jobstep and see exactly which jobstep
this message is from. Then post the TSQL commands you have in that jobstep. I'm asking because the
error you posted doesn't look like an error that the BACKUP command would produce.
