Backups: Syncing File and Database backups

Hi,
What's the best practice when trying to synchronize the backup of a set of
databases and a set of files on the file system?
I currently create backup schedules using the Maintenance Plan wizard. Is
there a way to trigger an event when the scheduled backup completes? Or is
there a better way to do this?
Thanks!
Ross
Hi
You can add additional steps to the maintainance plan's backup job, or
alternatively you may want to start the job from batch script run by the
windows scheduler and run xp_sqlmaint (the command executed by the job step
of the maintainance job) though isql.
