Home Forums Database Design Disaster Recovery Copy off original data, even if it is corrupt - before restoring backups? RE: Copy off original data, even if it is corrupt - before restoring backups?

  • My dept. is over budget at the moment, so I have to work with what I have for now.

    Would like to get a feel for how often SQL databases actually have to be restored in production environments - outside of developers incorrectly updating tables.

    I understand there are serveral variables involved, but some of you more experienced dba's might be able to give me some sort of an idea.
