Does this apply to a backup MS SQL server Peter? I am not sure that

large database runs under MSDE. Tony mentions getting a Developer's

Can one avoid paying several thousand dollars for a hot spare MS SQL
server machine?
Yep, in 2004 MS said you could have a free license for a spare server
after Oracle did the same. Only for those with a current software
assurance license though.
Of course MSSQL only runs on MS Server so you need to cover that base
as well, if you want to be comply with the law according to Bill.
