I am trying to find out why we are having some intermittent problems with our SQL backup.
We are seeing the following in the SQL Server log:-
2005-02-11 02:42:10.43 spid54BackupVirtualDeviceSet::Initialize: CoCreateInstance failure on backup device '

Does anyone have any ideas why we are seeing these entries in the log?
The only entry that's showing on the backup Exec log is that it failed to backup "msdb" because it was in use.
Please HELP!!!!!
