I have a maintenace plan settup to take transaction log backups every 15 minutes. Well everytime it does so, it writes a message to the windows event log. How can I disable this? I looked through the maintenance plan configuration and the Agent Job it created and can't see how to change it.

You can disable successful backup event logging by enabling Trace Flag 3226

To set this persistently add -T 3226 to the Startup Parameters option of the server instance in SQL Server Configuration Manager.

  • Start Config Manager, click on SQL Server Services
  • Right-Click on your server instance (default instance is SQL SERVER (MSSQLSERVER))
  • Click the Advanced tab
  • Add -T 3226 to the string in the Startup Parameters option
  • Restart your server instance
