Hi,
can anyone tell me if it is possible to cycle the backup files. They just
seem to append, but I wany to cycle them based on a 7 day period.
TIA

when you say cycle, i believe you want to delete bkup files older than
a week or something, if in that case you have to use another task
called maintenance cleanup task..which will do that for you
