  • RE: What should the Size of my Backup Drive be when the estimated size of the Database is 200gb

    So you're looking at the vicinity of 1 TB without any additional calculations.

    Size of backup = size of data in database + size of portion of log needed for restore.

    Yes.

    The database is in simple recovery model. No log backups are possible. Upon switch to full recovery you will have to take a full backup before you start taking...

  • RE: Point in Time Restore - Advice/Review Request

    You do not have the full transaction log since the last backup. Since the database was in simple recovery, the log would have been getting truncated whenever a checkpoint ran...

  • RE: Performance Advice

    The only stats you'll need to update are the column statisics (ones not associated with indexes) as the ones that are associated with indexes will be recreated with the index.

    I need 70-445 brain dumps

    A simple update would not give you that. There must be something else in the procedure that's causing that error.

  • RE: What should the Size of my Backup Drive be when the estimated size of the Database is 200gb

    Not a trivial question...

    How long do you intend to retain backups on disk before copying to tape/offsite storage?

    Do you intend to do log backups (for point-in-time restores) and if so...

    Google for rebuild...

    Not necessarily a good idea.

    TL is a text column (should be changed to varchar(max) as text is deprecated). If you include that, you are duplicating the entire column. The entire...
