It's not a big deal, and he has a bit of a point. None of the answers is well written, as noted by Hugo.Leave it alone. The more he gets responses, the more he posts.
Thanks Steve. Like I already told Remi, I never realy expect anyone to pay any attention to what SanDroid has to say. I find it funny that anyone every pays any attention at all.
However the seriously negative and over the top way that this sites users act and respond to any criticism in any from anyone is why SanDroid exists.
:hehe:

I think you should submit a question that has "It Depends" as an answer. But that choice should be wrong.:-DWhich is the correct color sequence of the average rainbow:
A) GBIVROY
B) ROYGBIV
C) DBCXY2
D) There is no sequence to an average rainbow
E) It depends. What is an average rainbow?
Why isn't your list adapted for those having Daltonism :w00t: ( I am allowed to pull this a bit, because I'm one of the members of that club )
That's just evil.

Here's something everyone in IT should be aware of
Your decision making ability deteriorates as you make more decisions

When you encounter a problem, if the solution isn't readily evident go back to the start and check your assumptions.

Sadly, that does seem to be the case. Makes my dieting even more of a pain. "Do I skip the pastry before designing that new table or do I throw my diet out the window and have a more effective schema?"

Thanks, terrific read. Now got to put sugar in my afternoon coffee.

Need the advice of the Thread.
Putting together an article on the most common backup errors (apart from not having one) and how to avoid them. I have four so far:
Backing up files instead of creating backups (.mdf, ldf, you know)
Running out of space on disk
Log Filling up
Only having differential backups available.
Are there any glaring ones I'm missing here?

Accidentally striping backup across multiple files when you only mean to use one?

Creating your backups on the same drive as your log or data files. (Sometimes you have no choice, but man is that a pain)
Not backing up your system databases?
I'm not great with backups, so those might not be problems or might not be common.
BTW, we're using a tool called EMC to do our SQL backups and the person in charge of this says it does a "hot file backup" of the database files. I haven't been able to find anything on EMC on-line that explains their backup system, but is this going to cause problems? From what has been explained to me, it doesn't actually run a SQL backup, but I hope to be learning more about it next week when I go through the restore process with someone who has done it before.

That's definitely an issue. But is it a common issue? It's not one I've run into much on the forums.
