Does the Maintenance Cleanup Task delete all backup files or only the ones backed up in the Back Up
I have one very large database that I only want to backup once a week so I'm wondering if the Cleanup Task is going to remove because the current maintenance plan is set to delete after 2 days.
Scotty62 , somehow is your post strange.
The "Maintenance Task" deletes backup file on how you defined the retention period & scheduling of the maintenance; SQL Server don't delete any file "just for fun".
