Hi Folks,

I just took over some SQL admin task lately and noticed that there is one database has been backup everyday at 5:30 am. However I looked at the list of jobs and all backup jobs are disable on this this server and there are no backup maintenace plan set up to run.

I also look at the stored procedure and there are nothing there either.

Is there any other places that I look into to find out what create this backup file everyday?

Thanks,

Mike

Perhaps it's coming from your tape backup software. Check the SQL Server Error Log for the backup messages and see if it gives you any clues.

Otherwise, just run SQL Profiler from 5:20am to catch the process.

I looked at the log and there are message like below;
date: 10/05/2010 5:30:13
Source: Backup
Message: Database backed up. Database:GIS, create date/time 2009/03/01, pages dumped:24886
first LSN: 384:101:283<c/> last LSN: 384:217:1<c/> number of dump devices: 1<c/> device information: (FILE=1<c/> TYPE=DISK: {'D:\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\GIS\GIS_backup_2010_10_05_053011_0960682.bak'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.

Any idea where it got created from?

Thanks,

Nope not enough information to tell the source process. Run SQL Profiler to catch it.
