RE: Backups II, the Sequel
You can get the SQL agent if you want to do an ONLINE backup but you do not have to. The online backup is prefomred 3 times a day just in case we have a failure in the middle of the day we will atleast have data up to a certain point. Your deciding factor is what amount of data are you willing to lose. Most people say none and that is the ideal world but there is always about a 5-8 hour lapse that we are willing to lose. I built this backup strategy and we follow it to a T with only one disaster in our pocket. We were actually lucky because I was able to ghost the data stripe set and we lost no data. Had a controller failure that would not take a reinstall and the only way to get anything to work was a compaq erase.shiver up spine But if it ever happened to where we could not get the data off we would have lost only about 5 hours worth of data.

On critical servers we do the same with the exception of an online backup in which we use the veritas sql agent which will go into a db and back it up.
