Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Backups What system databases do I need to backup? RE: What system databases do I need to backup?

  • In every instance I create a maintenance plan that backs up ALL databases. This includes system and user databases. This way if/when user databases are created they will automatically backed up everynight. This backs up master, model and msdb. They are generally very small so I dont really worry about whether or not to back up. mssqlsystemresource is located on installation drive, usually c:. These can be backed up with OS disk backup.
