This is Sean from MidnightDBA and what you said wasn't exactly accurate.
Sure, we have a weekly webshow that starts at 11pm CST on fri, but we've also got hundreds of...

Yeah, I understand that, but it's not a good idea to allow business users to backup DBs to begin with. They put backups in odd locations and fill up...

I'd like to make it perfectly clear that I never once said to run your backups through the GUI. Anyone who knows me knows I would never advocate such...

Yeah, in the limited scope of having sql express I could see how initially you might want to do this, but it's still not the best option. Even assuming...

If you guys are interested, I have tons of powershell videos on my site for free. Everything from beginning, to some pretty cool task-based stuff.

Thanks Jeffrey...
however in the scenario you described, doing a native SQL backup and putting it into an agent job is still the best solution. All you have to do...

I can't think of any real honest business case where taking backups outside of native SQL is necessary. I hate it when people choose to show the coolness of...

Well, it really depends on what it's trying to do.
Do you have the error message for us?

Yeah dude, that kinda sounds like crap to me.
If I were you I'd push them for some official documentation on that.

As well you can use powershell to cycle through the servers and kick off the installs.
It's quite a lovely sight to see really.

Well again it sounds like we might not be on the same page. The witness I'm talking about is a mirroring witness.
August 11, 2008 at 11:39 am
No, the witness is just there to prevent the splitbrain scenario where each node could think it's supposed to be the primary. The witness is a tiebreaker of sorts.
August 11, 2008 at 10:09 am
I assumed he was talking about mirroring. Was I wrong?
August 11, 2008 at 9:30 am
Notice I didn't say there was an option called 'disable'. I just said to disable and then I went on to describe how to do that. But it's...

Well your witness shouldn't know anything at all about the clusters so that doesn't matter. And y, a server can witness as many scenarios as you need it to....
