Hi,
This appears to be an issue with the MSDE 2000. Please ensure that user connections is set to "0". Please refer following steps:
1. Go to the Command Prompt.
2. Change directories to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Bin Folder on the media server.
3. Run the command: osql -S%computername%\bkupexec -E -Q sp_configure
4. Check that the "user connections" is set to 0, which is unlimited.
If above does not resolve the issue, please reapply the MSDE2000 SP3a. You may download the same from the Microsoft website.
