Maintenance Plan Issue

Sorry for the repost but I had an issue with my alias and had to repost per
customer service.
I'm running across a weird issue that I can't figure out. I trying to create
a maintenance plan on two of my SQL 2000 Servers. I run throught the wizard
and get to the screen to setup the backup job and when I go to select the
delete files older than option I notice that that this blank. Typically it
has dyas, hours, and weeks here. The file extension is blank as well. Aslo
the number scroll for number of files does not work correctly down is up.
Any thought on this. This is my only SQl server I've seen this on. I have 5
other SQL servers that work fine when creating a maintenance job but not on
these two servers and really need to resolve the issue on these servers.Hello,
Thank you for posting here.
Based on the symptom, it seems the "BackupDirectory " value of the
following registry key is corrupted or missing:
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance
name>\MSSQLServer (named instance)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer (default
instance)
If it is missing, please right click above Key->New->String Value, change
the name to BackupDirectory, and change it value to the proper path such as:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\backup
NOTE: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall Windows. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems
resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use
Registry Editor at your own risk.
