SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You create an MSDB database backup from a server instance (Instance A) that is running in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The server instance also contains database maintenance plans.
  • You restore the MSDB database backup on a second server instance (Instance B).
  • You delete the maintenance plans from Instance B.
In this scenario, the maintenance plans are deleted from Instance A. To verify this, use Object Explorer to view the maintenance plans.

MORE INFORMATION

When you delete a maintenance plan from SQL Server, SQL Server Management Studio uses the connection information that is available in the maintenance plan of the SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) package. In this scenario, this connection points to Instance A. Therefore, maintenance plans are deleted from Instance A.
