"SQLBackupAndFTP Client Service Watchdog" always stops after some time

Application issues
1

I have two servers (Windows Server 2012 R2) and I am using the software to backup several SQL databases. I noticed that there is a service called “SQLBackupAndFTP Client Service Watchdog” which should obviously monitor the “SQLBackupAndFTP Client Service”.
Still I wonder why this service seems always to be stopped and I have to restart it manually (on both servers) (Start type is set to “Automatically delayed start”). Shouldn’t this service run all the time or is this a normal behaviour?

I’m using version 11.4.3

Best regards

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the details.

This is normal work of this service. SQLBackupAndFTP Client Service Watchdog runs SQLBackupAndFTP (SQL Server Backup) Windows Service after the system starts if SQLBackupAndFTP (SQL Server Backup) Windows Service didn’t run automatically.

If SQLBackupAndFTP (SQL Server Backup) Windows Service runs - then SQLBackupAndFTP Client Service Watchdog stops.
