Thanks for the book, Eric. I'll try to take a look. I've wanted to try and get some more Azure/AWS knowledge going over time and I find books to be...

Please start new threads for new questions.

Always use DNS names for connections. This makes things much simpler in testing and moving around your routing to different machines. This is a...

Likely they stay. Since companies have different retentions, and some keep limited backups for 7-10 years, Azure might not have a policy here.

Plus they like you paying them.

Haven't heard this, but it's possible. I doubt it, but can you do two things.

1. Put 18.4 on the computer with 17.x that works.
2. Put 18.5 on this computer and...

Basically, you need to find the end of the number. CHARINDEX() can help, looking for a space, but if your data is not consistent, this might be an issue. You...

That's a good plan and what I'd want. Thanks for sharing. If you want to write an article (for your CV/resume) on the script and process, we'd love to see...

Good idea, hopefully you've saved it off network and update it periodically.

OK, I chatted with the dev. This was supposed to be deployed, but somehow never was. It's live, but only for admins.

Should go out later today or tomorrow.

Check in SSMS.

The backup process marks a checkpoint and then begins copying data pages. This is what you see for progress and estimate. At the end of the data pages being copied,...

OK, clearly something is wrong then. I'll check and see why the forum search doesn't show up.
