Stopping a job Step (backup) if drive has less disk space.

    Does anyone has ever implemented any script where in if the drive has less disk space (say 20 GB or less) it will disable / stop the backup jobstep alone in the maintenance job which will have other job steps as (checkdb, rebuild index, etcx..)?

    Thanks.

    Not in the middle. I've done it at the beginning to avoid exports if disk space was low.

    Use a PoSh script to check disk space, then fail the step if you don't want to continue to the next step (or jump to another step).

    Just out of curiousity but if you're out of back up space isn't that problem a little bit more important to resolve quickly than worrying about whether checkdb or index rebuilds run?
