Good morning,

I have a db maintenance plan that is backing up the tlogs every 4 hours. Previously this was a stand-alone job, not bundled as part of the larger Maintenance Plan. Since making this switch, I see no means of setting the .trn files to overwrite each other. The drop-down box to choose Append or Overwrite is greyed out.

This is my first experience with Maintenance plans. Previously I would have broken each step into an individual job, and in the case of the scenario above added "WITH INIT" to the job.

Any suggestions??

Many thanks to all who respond.
