    I was doing another internal intro to DB maintenance session with the DevOps here.

    And I used the GUI to create a backup script and scripted it out to a query window and closed the GUI without running to show the script... Both of them went along.

    I then did the same thing for a Log backup. One of them said 'Oh how to you generate the script?' So I showed the script button in the top corner. 'Oh wow I hadn't seen that', I've been writing them out from scratch every time. can you do that anywhere else?'

    Note to self remember to point out things like this with a 'did you know you can do this' type statement. My bad 🙁

    Rodders...

    There are many cases in history where instructions leave out what the writer thinks everyone knows. Oh, wait, that is a BOL. 🙂
