Error during backup

I am having a strange error during backups. I backup a couple hundred databases every night and this is sporadic. It seems to happen when I am logged into the SQL Server remotely and then logout. When I logout, it seems to cause this error best I can tell:

    Do you have any maintenance jobs that might be running during that time blocking the backup?

    Nope - the only thing that makes this happen is if I am logged into the machine remotely while the RG SQL Backup is running, open the EM, close it, log off the computer.

    Could you pls check the vdi.log file (found in the SQL Server Log folder) and SQL Server log file for any other errors that may have been raised at the time of the backup? Thanks.

    Which remote connectivity app are you using? I tried using RDC but could not reproduce your error.

    Is the sequence of events as follows?

    - sqb is backing up database A
    - you log in to server, open EM, connect to server, log out
    - sqb finishes backing up database A, starts to backup database B
    - sqb fails to backup database B, reporting the error you described

    Yes along those lines. I haven't done it again since I want it to backup :)

    I have a couple hundred DB's that backup. It does some of them, I log into it, open Explorer and Enterprise Manager. Close everything, log off the machine. Then I get the error in email.

    How are you logging in? Terminal Services, VNC etc?

    I can pretty much repeat this on demand now.

    I am still trying to reproduce the error using the software you are using. Also, which versions of Windows and SQL Server are you using?

    I am using Windows 2000 with all the service packs and updates (according to Windows Update).

    @version results this:
    I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86) Dec 17 2002 14:22:05 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)

    You need to make sure that the virus checker is not scanning you backup location. Or the temp red-gate location.

    No virus checkers doing anything. This has to do purely with GotoMyPC and terminal services.
