Performing database backups while users are online?

  • Topic

Greetings! Just a quick question this time. The majority of our users finish work at 5.30 so I suggested to my superior that we should start the daily differential backup job at 6PM. She said: Surely this isn't an issue as we're using SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 R2? Thanks.

In testing it has worked fine for me (naturally), but when users have tried to use it, it has failed. I've contacted Microsoft Tech support, and they've found that the issue is when […]
