Hey Spiceheads,
I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 with 12 local databases. I setup a new maintenance plan to cleanup database backups (.bak files) older than 3 days to save disk space on the local server. All the database backups get backed up nightly so only keeping them for 3 days isn't an issue.
The database backups are stored in E:\GP Database Backups and in a subfolder so the structure looks similar to this:
E:\GP Database Backups\DB1
E:\GP Database Backups\DB2
E:\GP Database Backups\DB3
etc..
Attached an image of the maintenance task. It runs successfully but doesn't actually clean up the old database backup files.
Hopefully it's just something small I am missing but need an extra set of eyes on this one.
Thanks!
