    One thing I did not see explicitly mentioned is the number of backup files.

    I don't know if this is true of all dedup technology, but the stuff we use at Allstate automatically breaks backups in to 4 files if the database is over a certain amount of GB.

    You should try it at least once without the breakup. You might be surprised.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
