Model backup failed

Good morning,
I am new to sql server and I have an issue with my backups.
So I set up these jobs:
Backup for System database:
Model, Master, MSDB DATABASE separately (every day at 22h)
Model, Master, MSDB log separately (every hour, between 5h-21h)
Backup for User Database
Database User (every day at 23h)
Database Log (every hour, between 02h-21h)
2 Plan Maintenance
Integrity Checks for all Database (System + User)
Optimization Job for all Database (System + User)
Why does my model backup and msdb log failed ? any idea?
Thanks
InaCan you post us the contents of your error log file please!

What is recovery model msdb database? If it is simple you log backup
will fail
For model database backup failure look in error log , it will have
detailed information about it.

Beacuse they are in SIMPLE recovery mode and there's no need for a
logbackup.
The full should work fine though.

What is the error you are getting?
First of all there is no need to backup the log for Model and Master
database; this is because we
are not supposed to do manipulations into these system databases.
Incase if you are getting errors in transaction log backup then verify the
recovery model for MSDB and Model databases.
For transaction log backup the recovery model should be either Bulk_logged
or Full.

It was because the MSDB Database was set up to simple instead of Full.
I changed it
but the model DB backup I do not know why it is failing
The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 26 (Schedule 1). The
last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).
This is the job error I get.

MMC recovery

We recently lost our hard disk on disk c: It contained
Windows 2000 system files, but no SQL Server 7.0 files.
Our program files, data, and backups were on drive d:.
After rebuilding the W2K server, we ran regrebld.exe to
reestabish the W2K registry entries. We were able to
restart SQL Server and the Agent, but MMC (Microsoft
Management Console) will not start due to problems with
missing CLSIDs. We are able to access the database and
Agent info from remote MMCs, but not on the local server.
I don't see any option to reinstall/register MMC. Any
ideas of what to do?I found instmmc.exe on the installation disk. I'll try it
in the morning.

Missing something simple

I have a new sever for our "stage" systems. This box is also the box used
for all backups. I can't seem to establish it for use in a maintenance
plan? Says that the server/location doesn't exist. " Device Error or
Device Offline. "
Is there a permissions seting that Ihave to set on this new box, or is there
some other reason?
\\StageSQL2 is server
\Database Backups\TGISQL\Data\ is folder for all db's and the db will have
it's sub_folder.
any ideas?
Stephen,
Ensure the Windows domain user account that the SQL Server Agent service is
running under has the appropriate permissions to write the backup files to
the share on your remote backup server.

Thanks. I had to do what it said and then share the folder to get a backup
to actually work. Don't like the share idea but it's working for now.

Thanks. I had to do what it said and then share the folder to get a backup
