BAckups in default location without SQL job

  • Hi Team,

    We configured jobs to run everyday on F drive .

    I am seeing some backups in default location for few databases but i am not seen any jobs or maintenance plan for those backups ?

    Anyone help me on this ?

    Thanks,

    Lavanya

  • Check the error log. You can see when backups were fired off there. I think, but would have to look it up to be sure, it's also in the system_health extended event session (but I could be wrong on that).

  • Its not manually ..it semms to be automated backup jobs ..

  • Via windows scheduler? Via an application?

    Check the error log. You can see when backups were fired off there.

    Error log will also tell you the login name used.
