Hello fellow geeks and nerds!
I have an issue with a piece of software I don't have any experience in; SQL 2008 R2. Essentially a third party has installed this on a server and put together a backup and maintenance plan to both Backup the SQL Databases their software runs on and delete them after they get to the ripe old age of four weeks. Problem is the backup works but the truncation does not.
Now they've been particularly unhelpful and so I've been asked to take care of this myself. I've fiddled and fumbled but I've not managed to get this to work. I've attached a screenie of the relevant point of the software.
Does this look alright to you?
I looked up the history and found an error message;
Error Number -1073548784
Executing the query "EXECUTE msdb..sp_maintplan_delete_log null,null,'2..." failed with the following error: "Transaction (Process ID 69) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
At this point I'm floundering a bit. I've never done much with Databases so I would really appreciate any help you good people could afford me.
Thank you very, very much in advance.
