scheduled TRN backups failing (sql2000)

I have created a backup that does once weekly BAK and every night it does TRN backup. This is in the same maintaince plan, the jobs appear as seprate jobs as they should. I have noticed my TRN is always failing, after looking into the event logs i see this.

please note this is lastest time to early:

4:22pm
this is the warning that the event log gives:

SQL Server Scheduled Job 'Transaction Log Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan 'xxxxxxxx TRN'' (0xB87B2FA07E4FB74CA01A1D38134C9C4F) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2007-03-09 16:19:40 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by User domain\Administrator. The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).

the next is
4:22pm
18265 :
Log backed up: Database: Staging, creation date(time): 2007/01/30(09:35:34), first LSN: 24624:14008:1, last LSN: 24624:14021:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=DISK: {'f:\program files\microsoft sql server\MSSQL\BACKUP\Staging\Staging_tlog_200703091622.TRN'}).

last is 4:21pm
18264 :
Database backed up: Database: Staging, creation date(time): 2007/01/30(09:35:34), pages dumped: 93982, first LSN: 24624:14008:2, last LSN: 24624:14018:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=DISK: {'f:\program files\microsoft sql server\MSSQL\BACKUP\Staging\Staging_db_200703091618.BAK'}).

So for some very strange reason its running a full backup then a Transactional, for this reason i would say its failing but why is it even doing this backup? the job is only for TRN?

A manual TRN backup works like a treat

Thanks

CHECK what is the recovery model of your database... make sure it is not Simple... If it is simple it is normal to have this behaviour

ran sp_helpdb all of my databases are at full recovery apart from the tmpdb and another system DB but these are not in the backup plan only user databases are.

any other ideas?

never mind you were right there was the northwind database still active (by default set to simple) this is classed as a user DB.

Thanks
