>Do you make the backup db every day or every weekday?

Bernard,

I do a db backup every day. I can see there are sequential db backups for
the past 5 days but for whatever reason it would not climb past 5, after the
day the db backup error occurred. I fixed this problem by changed the
Expiration Days from 7 to 6, it then climbed to 6 db backups. I then changed
it back to 7, and now I do have 7 concurrent db backups again.

I'd be willing to bet if I have another failure, the next time a db backup
occurs, this will happen again. I've already seen this problem 3 times on my
system. I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem.
