Removing differential backup

I set up a differential backup on my SQL server and have
decided I would rather not have it. However, I can't seem
to get rid of it. Any suggestions?
Hello John
How did you setup the differential backups? Was it setup as a SQLAgent
scheduled job?
If it is setup as a scheduled SQLAgent job, I'm not sure what is preventing
you from disabling/removing the job that performs SQL differential backups.
Could you please elaborate more on what you experience when you try to
disable or delete the job from SQLAgent job list in Enterprise Manager?
Thank you for using Microsoft newsgroups.

of 3:00 AM.

|||If you scheduled it there would be a scheduled job that issues the Diff
backup. Simply delete the job. If you didn't schedule a time it would have
been a one shot deal and there is nothing to worry about.
