So do you mean that the backups started working again? What account is the job running as, sqlserver agent and if so is the agent running? Also check disk space. I have seen many admins stuck because they forget to check the amount of space available. I have a Powershell script https://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/dba/powershell-script-to-monitor-disk-space/ that may help with this. I am also writing a series on using Powershell to monitor SQL Server instances. You might want to check those out as well. If you have any question head to http:\\sysadminsmith.com and submit a question for me.
