    If I may add a sub-question...

    We backup our tlogs every 20 minutes, when the job fails (reason unimportant) we are notified via email/txt. Has anyone executed a scripted job to notify after a second failed job rather than the initial failure? Being that we backup every 20 minutes, we generally watch to see if the next backup succeeds and if so all is well, so to speak.

    Is it actually worth trying to do such a thing? You do get notified twice within 20 minutes and, personally, I want to be notified of all such failures. I check the reason on the first failure because it's not always something that will all then next cycle to be successful.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
