delete scheduled backups

  • Hi all,

    I have scheduled a backup, which backsup my database twice a day but it didn't work on the very first day so, I have scheduled one more time. Now my database is backing up 6 times a day. How can I delete 2 of the scheduled back ups?

    thanks for any suggestions

  • If you're using files as opposed to devices for your backups, you can simply browse to the backup folder and delete the *.bak files in question.  If you're using a backup device, backup the database again and select to overwrite the existing media rather than append.  This will remove any previous copies of the database from the backup device. 

    Hope this helps.

  • So now you have 2 backup jobs?  If so, then just delete the first or second job.  Right-click the job and delete it.  If the problem is with the schedule.  Select the job properties and schedules tab.  You can modify the schedules from there.
