    Hi Bugg,

    I think 'Trounbleshooting SQL Server, A Guide for Accidental DBAs' by Johnathan Kehayias and Ted Krueger, would be a good read before you start. It's available on the Red Gate site for free as an ebook. (Same link as posted by Grant).

    Dave.

    that one helped me get a rather large head start and would highly recommend it. Redgate just released a new one on backup and restores that im in the process of moving to my kindle as i type. but knowing redgate should be preaty good.
