After upgrading Litespeed from v5.x to to v7, Litespeed maintenance plans begins to fail intermittently. When they fail, they seem to write the file to the destination folder OK, but the job is beported as a failure. The error message in the job history and SQL error log is:

Product defect

WORKAROUND 1:
If backing up all user databases, then select the "User databases" option instead of specific databases.

WORKAROUND 2:
Use wildcards or regular expressions to filter the databases required to backup. Refer to help file on how to use wildcards/regular expressions.

WORKAROUND 3:
Split the maintenance plan into 2 or 3 plans dividing the number of databases accordingly.

WORKAROUND :
Delete the plan and create a complete new one.

STATUS
Waiting for fix in a future release of LiteSpeed for SQL Server.
