Backup Failed : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Failed to pause catalog for backup. Backup was aborted.

This morning when I was taking backup of the database located on one of our dedicated server. I hunt the following error.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Failed to pause catalog for backup. Backup was aborted.

In short, you are no more able to take backups. So I googled about this error but trust me, there is no much information regarding this stuff. So, to get rid of it, you quickly need to do the following steps.

1. Jump to the services console. (Control Panel-> Administrative Tools -> Services)
2. Locate the SQL Server FullText Search and verify is it running.
3. If it is not running then start it …. but hold on read the next point
4. If it is running then verify what account which it is using under Log On tab.  (it should be Local System Account)
5. Save the settings and make sure to restart the service and you are done.
