We run jobs through the Maintenance Plans which are doing accordingly.

Maintenance plans deals with backup daily, but while job performs to procure the backup at 11 PM it went into the wee-hours of next day between 12 AM – 1 AM, which is also good.

However, my maintenance plans were designed to delete the day-old-backups, at this stage they were identified as TODAY’s backup so it is not deleting them.

For this I have advanced my backup instead of 11PM to 10 PM but still Day-old-Backups were not deleted and I have to delete them manually.

Does this something wrong with the maintenance plans design and need to get redesign?

Please analyse my problem and your suggestion would be really valuable.
