    GSquared (4/16/2008)


    SQL Server Express doesn't include SQL Server Agent. That's one possibility here.

    That's what I'm thinking. Though I hope that a 24/7 heavy transaction system is not being run...

    That's correct, but you also will only be able to restore the database using full/diff database backups.
