  • RE: What do you reckon to this backup plan?

    I'd recommend full daily and log on the hour.

    If you switch to simple and the DB crashes just before the diff, you've lost an hour's worth of data. If you're...

    You need to schedule regular log backups. If you do, the log won't grow to huge sizes. The frequency of the log backup depends on the activity in the DB,...

  • RE: What do you reckon to this backup plan?

    Log backups should be more frequent than that. Every hour, every 30 min, every 15 min. The question to ask here is, should the drives of that server fail and...

    The first 5 there shouldn't be run as is.

    You have transactional replication there, not snapshot. Check that the log reader agent is running.
