I have the following Maintenance setup accross about 50 servers.
Subplan 1 : Full sunday backups
Subplan2 : hourly log backups everyday
hourly log shrinks everyday
On sunday these 2 jobs will obviously overlap and then i get an error which states that the log shrinks cant run in serie with the backup (which is understandable).
I am not worried about these errors becaues they will just pick up again in an hour, but still we get an email notification that it failed, and my seniors dont want that.
They only way i can think of how to resolve this accross all 50 servers is by running a script on all of them including 2 additional steps in the backup jobs to disable and enable subplan 2 job.
Does anyone else have a better idea for this? Can i use SSIS expressions somehow ?
