It's backing up the database fine. but not deleting it. so eventhough i gave full control of the folder to the SQL Server service account it wasnt deleting the old backups. But when the sysadmin role was given to this account it's deleting the old backups successfully. i wasn't seeing any error messages anywhere whther it's windows logs or sql logs. Y is this?
No idea. As far as I can remember I always got a error like permission denied when I couldn't do something on the drive. Maybe it's a bug with sql 2008 or your windows' version.
