Message: "The Following Databases are Configured with Simple Recovery Model"

Summary:

You could receive an error message stating The following databases are configured with Simple Recovery model and will be skipped during Incremental (Log) backup, when one or more of the following actions is performed:

• A backup set is saved
• A backup set is validated
• A backup is triggered manually or via schedule

A list of databases will be displayed as part of the error message.

Cause:

This error message appears because databases configured with the SIMPLE recovery model cannot be backed up with an Incremental (Log) backup. Please see this Microsoft article for more information about database recovery models.
