I have sqlserver2000 add there is a problem
with database maintanence. I have configured it that it delete files(dumps)
older than 5 days.
It does not do it. There is 2 weeks history now in my server. Does someone
know is it bug or is there some
tricks i have to do.

Do you mean that you have setup a maintenance plan to backup you databases
and it is not deleteing or clearing old log file backups?

Are you talking about the maintenance plan history , can you be more
specific?

I know there is a problem when you have a maintenance plan to backup the
system and user databases and there is at least one database using the
simple recovery model , this causes the logs nmot getting deleted the
workaround is to create 2 seperate maintenance plans.
one for user databases and one for system, and have them also using the full
or bulk logged recovery model.

If this is not the case can you be more specific?

This is my issue as well. I'm using 2 maintenance plans:
one that backs up the databases and the second one to back
up the logs. Files older than 2 days are supposed to be
deleted, but they are not. One database, the MSDB is set
to Simple recovery, while the others are set to Full
recovery. This raises another thing: If you are backing
up every night, which databases 'should' be set to Full
and which are fine just using Simple?

I only have master in simple recovery mode. I want to have up-to-date backup of msdb since
backup history is here. Just be aware that when you start the SQLAgent service, it will bring
down msdb to simple (for some strange reason).
