PASS Community Summit 2008: Spotlight Session (Database Administration)

Business Continuity with Backup and Restore

Peter Ward

Session Details


The Backup and Restore commands are the most important SQL Server commands in a Database Administrators arsenal. In the event of a system failure or user error, the Backup and Restore commands provide the ability to recover from what otherwise could be a catastrophe. With the release of SQL server 2005 and 2008 these commands have been enhanced significantly. For example, the ability to take an adhoc backup without affecting the restore sequence and the ability to revert a database from a snapshot. In this session, Peter Ward from WARDY IT Solutions (www.wardyit.com) will explain how to utilise many of the new recovery features as part of your SQL Server business continuity strategy.
