Hi!

I have set up a maintainence plan in SQL Server 2008, which backs up all the databases and is suppose to delete databases older than 3 days. The backup is working but the delete portion of the job isn't. I have checked the server and the job settings and all of them have a 3 days retention period.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards

Vik

This happened to me once, but I only had "History Ccleanup Task" rather than the "Maintenance Cleanup Task."
