Hi friends,

How can I create ONE SQL Agent JOB That will 2 activities: (Using SQL
2005)

1) Backup a specified Database (Full Backup) and store the backup file
in a Specified FOLDER.
2) Manage the Backup Files in the FOLDER, ie. Delete the files that
are 5 week OLD.

I want to schedule the JOB to run every Sunday.

I am able to do this using the SQL Server Maintenance Plan and that
creates a Job. But that JOB refers to the maintenance plan package.
Which I dont want to be depended on.

Please suggest.
