For some other Upgrade process we have DISABLED the Maintenance plan which governs automatically every day performing FULL BACKUPS.

[Before the DISABLE All Databases (User + System) were successfully Backed up].

After the Upgrade of application, ENABLED the FULL BACKUP MAintenance Plan and last night it has been performed BUT without the MASTER, MODEL and MSDB (System Databases). Though I have manually performed the FUll backups on these System Databases I wonder why the Maintenance Plan didn't picked up these backups now.

What I have done was, I simply made the Maintenance Plans on the Server Agent got DISABLED and later ENABLED. All other activities were normal only this has happened.

In the event if this is not done tomorrow where I need to encroach for the cause, and what Shall I do to get them (Full Backup for System Databases also procured along with User databases).

Can Anyone suggest me in this regard, many thanks for your advise.

Check maintenance plan if system databases are included.

if you recall - All the Databases includes SYSTEM + USER Databases were performed with Full Backups on maintenance Plans.

Just inbetween DISABLE and ENABLE the SYSTEM databases were missed out.

Thanks for your suggestion.

They are buggy. A lot of us/most of us here use custom scripts instead and avoid maintenance plans altogether.
