Question : SQL 2008 Maintenance Plan, edit backup filename

Subj: SQL 2008 Maintenance Plan, edit backup filename

I used the Maintenance Plan Wizard to create a backup of all databases (separate filenames for each database).  When it runs, it places the date and time in the filename of the BKF file.  I would like to just have the database name without date/time and have it overwrite the old file each time.  I cannot find where to edit the script text that contains the commands.  If I select the maintenance plan and click Modify-it only let's me change the schedule.  Where do I edit the actual SQL command string ?

Thank You,
Denise
 

Answer : SQL 2008 Maintenance Plan, edit backup filename

That's normal behavior for a maintenance plan backup.

It's better to write your own SQL commands for backup and run them with a scheduled job.
