Order of Maintenance Jobs???

  • Hi All,

    Is there any convention of the order for the maintenance jobs to be run on SQL Server? Also is this specific to SQL Server Version?! (because I have got 6.5, 7.0 and 2000 as well).

    Right now I am running as follows on SQL Server 2000:

    01:00 AM : Optimizations Job

    01:30 AM : Integrity Checks Job

    02:00 AM : DB Backup Job

    0600AM - 0800PM : Transaction Log Backups Every Hour.

    Please let me know, if there is any order we need to follow. Timing is never been an issue anyway, becuase it will be based on Business Reqs.

    .

  • I've always preferred to run my backups before I do index rebuild and integrity check, my theory being that if something goes wrong during either of those two I'd like to have a good backup. In practice it's never mattered.
