Sonia, every database has to be set to a Recovery Model.
I believe Tibor mentions this and as he mentioned, if your database is set
to SIMPLE Recovery Model, then Transaction Log of that database can not be
backed up due to the nature of this Recovery Model.
Have you checked History of your Maintenance Plan? If you can't find any
useful info there, then check out the job' s history of this Maintenance
Plan.
