Maintenance Plan

  • Hi All,

    I also noticed one interesting thing here In the Maintenance Plan. When I specify BAK in the "File extension" box it deletes the .bak files correctly and when I specify TXT in the "File extension" (for delete backup history log) box the txt file are not deleting in specified folder. Is it a Bug for SQL 2005 SP2 ? or some issue or need some Hotfix.

    I am using SQL STD SP2(9.00.3042.00)

  • There were problems with maintance plans and sp 2 Pre version 3159

    i dont know if it covers you re problem of not cleaning up the txt files. But i do know for sure that SP 3 has not the problem because my txt files older then 4 weeks are getting deleted in the log dir

  • Marco is spot on with the resolution and the specifics of needing a minimum of SP2 for SQL Server 2005. The biggest bug prior to this release was the issue with maintenance plan cleanup of old backup files.
