Backups failing

I am running SQL-2000 Standard (SP3) and have created a backup job a while
back to back up several databases, and a seperate job to backup transaction
logs. 2 out of the 3 databases are being backed up and the transaction logs
are backing up, but our largest database (almost 5GB) is failing on the
backup. Where can I look to see why it is failing?How do you run these jobs, and what types are they of. Maint Wiz? SQL Server Agent jobs, TSQL or
CmdExec? Etc...

They were created using the Maintenance Wizard and scheduled to run nightly.|||You may need to look at both the job history (make sure to view step
details) and the MP history.

messages in there.
