Author Unexpected Backup

Every morning at 8AM, my SQL Server 2005 produces some database backup that
is not a part of any "Job" or "Maintenance Plan". If you look in the Windows
NT Application browser, there is an Event: 1073760088, Source: MSSQLSERVER,
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, Category: Backup, which occurs.

I have a few questions since it seems to conflict with some other concurrent
processes.

1) Where is this backup controlled from and how can I control the time that
it occurers?

2) Where does this backup go to and how can I use it?

Backups don't occur by them selves. You must run a BACKUP command for it to
happen. This can be embedded in a job in SQL Agent or it can come from any
client that has the proper permissions to connect to the db and issue a
backup. Do you have 3rd party backup software such as BackupExec etc? Are
you sure there is no job kicking off at 8:00AM? You can run a trace to see
who is doing it pretty easily.

I do have a copy of Retrospect backup software but it does not backup the SQL
server. How do I run a trace (and of course I could just turn off Retrospect
to see if the unexpected backups stop)

This link should get you started. It may have more events than you need to
capture but it gives you the idea.
