Backup Dependent file remove

In SQL Server 2000, when you setup "Delete files older than 1 day" option, it
would not delete files unless the backup completes successfully. If the
backup fails for some reason, you still have the previous backup.
How can this be accomplished in SQL Server 2005 ? Is SSIS Package is the
only way to do it ?
Thanks.
Hi
If you look a Maintenance Plans then the maintenance cleanup task can be set
up to remove files older than a given age from a given directory. This can be
dependent on a the successes of a backup database task, although this would
leave files until the backup problem is fixed and you could end up with weeks
of files from failed backups. If you are going to use maintenance tasks then
there was some issues with upgrading in SP2 so starting on SP2 will remove
any issues with upgrading.
