Maintenance Plan Info SQL Server 2005

Question

Hello Everybody,
today I've designed Maintenance Plan for System Center Operation Manager Databases: I've created four single Full Backup Task scheduled at different hours for each Databases (OperationManager, OpsMgrDW, ReportServer, OperationManagerACS) with option "Create a Sub Directory for each Database";
I've also attached in first backup task (OperationManager) a Maintenance Cleanup Task, to delete old backup files (1 day) and I've selected option "Include first level Subfolders"
Now I've a doubt: I Must design a Maintenance Cleanup Task for each scheduled Backup Task, or the first Maintenance Cleanup works fine for all Databases Backup Tasks?

Thanks a lot everybody

Answer 1

Supposing if you are taking backup in to E:\backup (for three databases) , create sub director for each database creates three new folders like
E:\backup\a
E:\backup\b
E:\backup\c
 
If your maint clean up plan was to search E:\backup on the box search folder and delete files based on an extension and now if include first level sub folders are selected , then there is no requirement for other separate maint clean up task . Else , if the folder in which it is going to search is E:\backup\a , then you need to include maint clean up tasks separately.
