Backup Retention Periods

  • Hi Guys,

    I am currently using a script to back up one of my databases. The database isis not situated locally. With Maintenance Plans in SQL 2000 you have to create a backup and have the retention period included with the maintenance plan. You can't create a step for the retention period only.

    Does anyone perhaps have a script set the retention period. I want to add it in a step of my job that backs up the database.

    Regards

  • I am not clear with the question as it raises doubt for me. You are asking a 2000 question in 2005 forums if i am not wrong.

    you have the option to have retention in 2000 databases tooo.

  • I know you have an option for retention period in 2000. I am looking for a script that can do this as well.
