Hi, All:

Thank you for your comments and reading my article.  It was meant to provide some interim solution to the maintenance issue. 

The xp_delete_file is I believe used in the maintenance clean-up task, but didn't work for multiple db's for multiple locations (ie subfolders).  So, this was an extension of that task.

Granted, a disclaimer should have been included in the article (maybe it's not too late - Steve?) as with all scripts, one must be aware there are risks.

As for not working over the network, my backups are only to a network share and works quite well.

Feel free to post any questions, or comments, or email me @ rsp05@pearlknows.com

Regards,

Robert Pearl
