I am running SQL server 2008 R2, 64 bit, When i attempt to backup Blackbaud Financial Edge version 7.86 either manaully or via a scheudle, I am SUDDENLY getting error 'Executed as user: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). NOTE: The step was retried the requested number of times (1) without succeeding. The step failed.'
A Blackbaud Article (BB584984) says to install the SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility components. What concerns me is why this broke suddenly and why the components would fix it, as I am wary of changing something without knowing why the fix should work, especially after it worked without the components for years. Blackbaud will not support this part of my question, as they disclaim all support for SQL.
Any help would be appreciated.
