• Darn good question.

    Between the database setting of Allow_snapshot_isolation, all the Row versioning techniques / abilities, then throw in the MSDB for good measure. Now I think I know how much I did NOT know about snapshots - their advantages / disadvantages. backing up of a snapshot and on and on and on and on ad nausim.

    Again a good question relatively simple, yet a great learning experience

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
