How recovery mode of db gets changed

  • I have a database that has always been set to Full recovery mode and needs to stay that way.  Somehow in the last couple of days it has been being switched to Simple by someone or some procedure.  Is there a way to monitor the db with profiler that will let me know who or what is changing the recovery mode? 

  • Which database? Is it a system or user database?

  • User database.

  • Problem figured out.  Another user was running a version of Spotlight on SQL Server and had it pointing at the database in question instead of the QuestSoftware db.  Everytime he would start the Spotlight it would change the recovery mode of the db.  Pointed it to the correct db and problem is gone.
