First thing, try deleting your task and creating a new one and see if prob persists.

Hi Martin and Scott!

Thank you for your comments! Scott, thanks a lot for help.

Martin, Scott is right in general. I just wanted to give you a few more details.

Usually this error appears when the backup script file or/and backup database for this particular backup chain have gone corrupt. In such cases we do recommend to create a new task, and keep the old one for recovery purposes only.

You can find the details of the problem, the location of the backup task scripts, and detailed solution description in this KB article.

Please let us know if you have any questions, we will be glad to address them.

Thank you.
