    Every situation is different, but this is the order of my backup jobs:

    1. Reorganize/Rebuild index

    2. Check integrity

    3. Update Statistics

    4. Backup database.

    Please tell me you aren't updating statistics on indexes that you rebuilt.

    Just a sarcastic comment and no constructive information? Every situation is different and there are no simple answers.

    The post just prior shows the simple reorganize/rebuild maint step. It looks at fragmentation and decides to reorganize, rebuild, or do nothing. Depending on what it decides statistics will be run.

    Here's a link from Paul S. Randal:

    Not a sarcastic comment at all. A valid statement/question of concern.

    I have seen DBAs that have rebuilt indexes and followed that with updating statistics using a 20% sample rate. Waste of time considering that the statistics on the indexes that were rebuilt were updated with a 100% sample rate while the index was rebuilt.
