error converting data type int to tiny int

While trying to create a new database maintenance plan in SQL 2000 sp3, I'm
receiving the error "error converting data type int to tiny int". No matter
what I select in the plan, the same error appears. I have a bare bone backup
of 1 database to disk, and receive the error. I've not been able to find
anything, except for a few people having the same sort of problem, who are
running more than 1 instance of sql on their server, as is the case with me.
thank you,
I don't know why the error but if you are simply doing a backup why not
create a scheduled job yourself and forget about the Maintenance plan?

Management Backup?

job. Then in the Jobstep you place the TSQL BACKUP DATABASE xxx command.
You can set a schedule as you see fit.
