SQL每日，每周，每月备份

Question

I have daily backups set up for all databases. The servers tend to get full of backups after a while and I have to go through and periodically clean it up. I would like to retain the daily backups for 30 days, then retain one backup weekly for 6 months, and then retain one backup monthly for 12 months. How do i set this up in SQL or outside of SQL? The retention needs will also vary between databases. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

1. Create Three agent job FULLBACK_DAILY, FULLBACK_WEEKLY, FULLBACK_MONTHLY Step 1 Take fullbackup for DB Step 2 Cleanup old backup using powershell.
2. Scheduled them daily, weekly and monthly

Question: The retention needs will also vary between databases. You can do this in the fullbackup step.

Good luck
