• Nice summary of backup methods, Daniel. I also like that you took the time to demonstrate how you can schedule backups for SQL Express. Well done.

    As an off subject sidebar, let's hope that SMO doesn't go the way of the Dodo bird as did DMO.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
