  • RE: Database Snapshot Backup Question

    The way things work is that log chains are separate from full backup chains.

  • RE: Crafting Your Resume

    Beatrix Kiddo (2/9/2016)


    I'm sorry, it's a rubbish position to be in. I do think that it's important to get out and not be dragged down with the rest.
