So I've changed my math to be just a DateDiff because, yay simple!

SELECT dt.Subdirectory, DATEDIFF(hh,GETDATE(),bus.backup_finish_date) AS HrsAged
INTO #PurgeBackups
FROM #DirTree dt
INNER JOIN LinkedSvr.msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily bmf
ON dt.Subdirectory = REPLACE(bmf.physical_device_name,@PurgeFolder,'')
INNER JOIN...

So I attended the PASS High Availability webinar last week on "Your AG might not be as "available" as you think" and it was pretty interesting. But one odd thing...

Yeah. I had so many things going on when that got posted I must have missed it. I was scanning the code responses and missed a lot of the rest...

No problem with the hijacking.

FYI: My boss just figured out a way to pass PoSH parameters into a SQL job. So, it is a thing. Let me look into it...

GAAAAHHHH.

So apparently those wonderful April updates affect McAfee as well as the others. We've been chasing issues for the past few weeks and it wasn't until we started looking at...

Danke!

Wow. So apparently I learn something new every day with SQL Server. Yesterday, I accidentally learned that if you highlight a section of code in a SSMS query...

Sorry I didn't have a chance to respond yesterday. It was very busy at work.

But yes, that's exactly my problem. What Sue said and what you posted.

Yeah, I saw someone post about that one several months ago and I've been using it ever since.

Previously we'd been doing that in UltraEdit. It was nice to know I...

Thank you all for your responses. I'm choosing not to go with either of the additional solutions because I'm trying to cut down the code I have rather than add...

<headdesk>. Wow. How did I miss this?

SELECT DATEDIFF(hh,CONVERT(DATE,GETDATE(),120),CONVERT(DATETIME,(RIGHT(LEFT(SubDirectory,LEN(SubDirectory)-8),8))))
+ DATEDIFF(hh,CONVERT(TIME,GETDATE()),CONVERT(TIME,(SUBSTRING(Subdirectory,20,2) + ':' + SUBSTRING(Subdirectory,22,2) + ':00.0000000'),120)) AS HrsAged, Subdirectory
--INTO #PurgeBackups
FROM #DirTree;

And apparently I can't bold the changed parts...
