    Within the same box that's where my SQL server 2008 R2 database exist.

    I am not sure did that windows OS security actually converted my database recover model from full to simple.

    Cos the next day i received all my transaction logs backup failed (from backup exec software).

    Is there such a things or anyone encounter such things before.

    How do you guys assess the security patch? On whether it will create impact or make changes on anything?

  • A windows security patch shouldn't change the recovery model of a database.

    I'd look in the default trace to see if it still has information about an alter database on the database(s) that are in question. It doesn't show the specific command, but should give you an idea. Hopefully it will still be there.

    In my opinion, patches (windows and SQL Server) should be treated like any other changes and go through the change control process (dev, test, uat, and production).
