Daniel writes "I am trying to backup logs into a disk dump device. I schedule it to run every 4 hours and the backup sets should be stay for 2 days. I try to write one stored procedure to handle this job. However, the procedure backs up log every 4 hours. However, it won't erase the old sets. My device is keep growing.

If you I use " WITH INIT" option, it will erase the backup set created 4 hours ago. I want it stay for 2 days.

How do I solve this problem, I don't want to clean up the backup set mannually and for business reason, I only can use 'disk' as dump device.

Thanks a lot


Daniel"
