Next week, I’m doing a free webcast called The Top 5 Mistakes in Backing Up Virtual SQL Servers.
Us SQL Server people think we know backups better than anybody else. We know to do full backups daily, transaction log backups for mission-critical stuff, and maybe even differential backups if we want to get fancy. We schedule it all through SQL Agent, and we know we can count on our restores. We don’t need to do anything different with virtualization, right?
Wrong.
Join me as I explain why backing up virtual SQL Servers really is different, including:
- Why full backups are one of the worst things you can do to a virtual SQL Server
- Which critical SQL Server objects you’re probably not backing up today
- Three different meanings of the word “snapshot”, and which one doesn’t suck
