Hi
I am new to SQL server .
Few months ago i created a backup job .

JOB RUN: 'Bhupinder_backupjob' was run on 3/29/2014 at 6:36:40 PM
DURATION: 0 hours, 0 minutes, 54 seconds
STATUS: Succeeded
MESSAGES: The job succeeded. The Job was invoked by Schedule 9 (back up). The last step to run was step 2 (Getdatetime).

My problem is this job is eating space on my hard disk .
It has almost filled up my hard drive .
I have stopped this job but my hard drive is filled up.

My question is how can i find a file where this whole backup is stored so that i can delete that file and make some space on my hard drive .

DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalization if you want to be taken seriously.

Urgency deleted: It may be urgent to you, but it isn't to us. All that your stressing the urgency does is to make us think you have left it too late, and want us to do it for you. This annoys some people, and can slow a response.

Do you treat everybody that you want help from like this?
If so, then I suspect that you are going to find that the real world is a cold, friendless place once you leave the comfort of your mothers home.

I didn't give you and answer because you began the conversation by being rude: shouting at me in fact.
If I came into your room and started banging my fists on the desk and shouting "talk to me!", "talk to me!" would you be inclined to help me? No? Then why do the equivalent online?

There is a saying that Empty Vessel makes more noise .I think you are one of them.
I was not rude neither i came begging to you for solution.
If you don't like my urgency .Don't write we .Say I .May be this annoys a empty vessel .
Can you read simple english .Is above written text is all in Capital .So can this be shouting .

Check out the Management node in your SQL server Management studio, here the place to look is the Maintenance Plans section, if this is the way you did the task you can rightclick the maintenance plan and choose modify... wait forever for the wysiwyg editor to open ... the find the subplan, often there is only one back up database type and the double click on that, choose Destination tabl and locate your backup.
With your problem, consider turning to options and define Backup set will expire option.
