SQL Server 2005 & 2008 - Backup, Integrity Check & Index Optimization

I have made a solution for backup, integrity check and index optimization in SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008. The solution is based on stored procedures, functions, sqlcmd and SQL Server Agent jobs. The documentation is available on my blog, http://blog.ola.hallengren.com.

• Dynamic selection of databases, e.g. USER_DATABASES.
  
  
• Database state check. If a database is not online the procedure logs the database state and continues to the next database.
  
  
• Robust error handling and logging. If an error occurs the procedure logs the error and continues to the next database or index. In the end the job reports failure. Information about all commands are logged with start time, command text, command output and end time.
  
  
• Database backup features. Full, differential and transaction log backups. Automatic creation of backup directories. Backup file names with the name of the instance, the name of the database, backup type, date and time. Verification of backups. Deletion of old backup files.
  
  EXECUTE dbo.DatabaseBackup
  @Databases = 'USER_DATABASES',
  @Directory = 'C:\Backup',
  @BackupType = 'FULL',
  @Verify = 'Y',
  @CleanupTime = 24
  
  
• Database integrity check features.
  
  EXECUTE dbo.DatabaseIntegrityCheck
  @Databases = 'USER_DATABASES'
  
  
• Dynamic index optimization. Rebuild indexes online or offline, reorganize indexes, update statistics, reorganize indexes and update statistics or do nothing based on fragmentation level and lob existence.
  
  EXECUTE dbo.IndexOptimize
  @Databases = 'USER_DATABASES',
  @FragmentationHigh_LOB = 'INDEX_REBUILD_OFFLINE',
  @FragmentationHigh_NonLOB = 'INDEX_REBUILD_ONLINE',
  @FragmentationMedium_LOB = 'INDEX_REORGANIZE',
  @FragmentationMedium_NonLOB = 'INDEX_REORGANIZE',
  @FragmentationLow_LOB = 'NOTHING',
  @FragmentationLow_NonLOB = 'NOTHING',
  @FragmentationLevel1 = 5,
  @FragmentationLevel2 = 30,
  @PageCountLevel = 1000
