That depends on who you specified the CHANGE_TRACKING option when you created the index. If you specified MANUAL, you need to issue a command update the index. If you specifed...

Since you should always test your backups (so that you know that they work, and that you know that you are familiar with the activity), why don't you try and...

Tip: rather than

['+pqc.SourceColumn+']

The easiest way to find the average data size of a row in table is to run sp_spaceused on the table, and then run:
