Recover a deleted job

  • How can we recover a deleted job? Is it possible at all?

  • They are stored in msdb. You can restore a previous backup of MSDE and get the information from sysjobs and sysjobsteps.

    Note: You do not need to overwrite msdb, nor is it recommended. Restore msdb as a different name ot recover the data.

  • Thank you. This is helpful, but can a deleted job be recovered from the msdb transaction logs?

  • The answer is no if the database recovery mode is still set to it's default of 'simple'. If you changed the recovery mode of the database to 'full' and implemented regularly scheduled transaction log backups then yes.
