Post subject: transaction logs back up through sql maintenance plan
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>sqlserver>tools (more info?)

I have a maintenance plan that is supposed to back up the transaction logs
for six different databases from the same server. However when it runs it
only backs up transaction logs for three of them. When I checked in the
backup database task window, I can see that all the six databases have been
checked. I even recreated a new maintenance plan selecting all six databases
again but it only backs up three database. However, I have another plan that
makes a full back up for all the same six databases is working fine.

I have been trying to figure out it since a couple of weeks but without any
resolution. I will appreciate your any inputs.

Sonia

My guess is that at least one of the databases are in simple recovery
model and the MPO stop when it encounters that db.

Those databases are operational. So I believe they are not in recovery mode.

Sonia, every database has to be set to a Recovery Model.

I believe Tibor mentions this and as he mentioned, if your database is set
to SIMPLE Recovery Model, then Transaction Log of that database can not be
backed up due to the nature of this Recovery Model.

Have you checked History of your Maintenance Plan? If you can't find any
useful info there, then check out the job' s history of this Maintenance
Plan.

I apologize for my misunderstanding. I was thinking the recovery phase during
restore preocess. Yes, these databases wree in simple recovery mode. The
backup started working as soon as I changed into the full recovery mode.

Thanks a lot for your clarification.
