Db Backups

  • Hey,

    I have a question on db backups

    How can we know if a database is available when the backups are running ? Do backups affect the availability of the database ?

    Please let me know

  • Backups do not affect the availability of the database. You can still connect to the database and run transactions.

  • Hey thanks for your response, how can we know that backups doesn't affect the availability of databases ?

  • Login to the database and run a query. That is the easiest way to show the backup does not take your database down while it is running.
