In this session, you'll gain invaluable guidance for optimizing your backup strategies. Actually that is a lie, I will be advocating the mind shift from backup strategies and the devastating affect they can have on a company and instead move you to thinking about implementing restore strategies. Things become much simpler when you consider the purpose of a backup, and the effects of the different recovery models and backup options
have on your customers and effectively your livelihood. Using trace flags the session will also cover how SQL Server manages its own backup options and how you can tune them to make sure that you meet the time constraints of your enforced maintenance windows.
