The past few days we've seen some issues with memory jumping on our SQL 2005 Standard box. All my daily jobs showed no errors running so I never thought to double check the results. When I went to look at my backup transaction log folder I found no logs for the past day. I then went to look at the maintenance plan and found all the check boxes unchecked for the specific database I wanted to have backed up e.g. the transaction logs. Now is it possible for this to change and is there any record kept in the database when you alter a maintenance plan?

thanks

I'll add this to my list of reasons why I never use maintenance plans.

Did you also update the 2005 client software SP on the computers you are using to modify maintenence plans?

There were some issues with maint plans in 2005 SP2 that caused them to reissue a new SP2 a few days after the original release.
