Transaction Log Backup Failing

Toeho

I have a condition where a transaction log backup is failing for one database with the errors below. It seems to be fussing about not having a full backup but I have verified that the nightly full backup is successfull. The log backups have been running successfull untill the 2 days ago. Any ideas??

5/9/2008 6:05:32 AM: SQL error 3013: BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.
5/9/2008 6:05:32 AM: SQL error 4214: BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

The error above suggests that the recovery model was changed, or a transaction log backup was ran with the NO_LOG/TRUNCATE_ONLY option (and you were using SQL 2005).
