    Thanx.

  • The size of the database doesn't matter so much as your organization's tolerance for data loss i.e. how much data would you be willing to lose if you had to recover from a backup?

            backups

    Bulk-Logged - you can recover to the end of

    See 'Selecting a Recovery Model' in BooksonLine.  It has, IMO, a good comparison of the 3 recovery models.
