DB Maint plan bug?

  • Hi Guys,

    I have a DB Maint plan that backs up SQL db's and emails me the report. This worked flawlessly for months. 2 days ago it stopped backing up and emailing. Absolutely nothing is happening. The only this i have noticed is that in the schedule, in the 'Duration' frame the end date was set to 2 days ago but the radio button for 'No End Date' is selected so surely this shouldnt have mattered? I changed the end date just in case but the backups haven't started up again. Any suggestions?

  • Sometimes the process hangs up. Look in task manager, see if you have sqlmaint running. If so (and no other plans running) kill it. Then try the job again.

  • There's no sqlmaint running in task manager. Ive created new maintenance plans to replace the old ones and they appear to work under the test conditions. I wont know for sure until tomorrow though. Fingers crossed!
