I just scheduled for backup as recurring, daily, expires 1 day and started sql server agent along with the jobs under it and getting the scheduled backup, but backup steel growing in the rate of double of previous backup. Hope expires in one day is not working. In which point i am doing wrong. Would you let me know? More you may write the appropriate process for scheduled backup. (Look original size of database is not much 105 mb but .bak file size 597 mb
