If you specified a report you should see more error details in there. From
the sound of it you may have specified a single plan for all databases and
included log backups. You can't do log backups of master and SQLAgent will
set msdb to simple when it starts if it's not already so you can't really do
if for msdb either. I'd usggest 1 plan for system databases (full backups
only) , 1 for user databases in simple mode and one for databases in full
recovery mode with log backups.
