• I thought the article was a little shy on details regarding the option itself. I'm a developer that often has to put on a DBA hat, as well. I understood the two scripts and the lead up, but I didn't see where it was explained exactly what COPY_ONLY does. I read the article twice and it's not very clear to me what problem is or how it was solved with COPY_ONLY.

    In the comments, there were some examples and such that fleshed it out, but I think the article could use some of those details.

    Thanks for taking the time to write it, though!
