*Please note that SQL 2008 Web and Workgroup editions do not include SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS). As a result, when you create a maintenance plan to backup your database, it will appear as though it is set up properly, but it will not in fact backup the data. This is because both of these SQL editions require SSIS to function. For more details on a solution to this, please visit the Microsoft website.
