Author SQL Backup Maintenance

We are running SQL Enterprise 2000 on Windows 2003 Standard Edition server.
We scheduled to run the daily backup job in Database Maintenance Plans. The
report showed that "Backup cannot be performed on database "msdb". This
subtask is ignored" and "Backup cannot be performed on database "pubs".
This subtask is ignored". We would like to know if it is necessary to
backup the "msdb" and "pubs" databases. If it is, should we be concerned
about the messages?

Thank you.

Sounds like a failure notificaiton for transaction log backups. Databases
in SIMPLE recovery cannot have transaction log backups. You might need to
use more than one maintenance plan for all your databases. Create a
maintenance plan that does not attempt to do log backups for databases in
SIMPLE recovery.
