It sounds like you guys got things under control and the only loss will be the full days work, which if that's acceptable by your company than you're all in the clear! I'd still recommending you inform them of the situation though. Perhaps it'll give the network admin the fire he needs to...
Leeland pointed out the 2nd part of your question which I missed and mentioned good points. If it's on the same disk as the data drives, and the disk itself goes bad, you've just breached your SLA if you have one.
How big do the transaction log files get? Almost every network I've seen is...
Emulex,
Did my PM reply ever get to you? I sent it 2x and it isn't showing up in my 'sent items'. In my PM I was replying to the lag time on client end issue.
This seems to be a totally different issue, so let me make sure I understand. Are you asking if you are 'conforming decently to...
Hi Zargon,
Thanks for the reply. Honestly, the best way to find out if your backup strategy is valid is to go to the stakeholder or manager and say:
"With our current system, we can lose up to 1 hour of data & it will take x amount of time to have systems fully up, is that OK? Do you see...
Thank you Neo. If you guys liked it, the video i feel is very good. It's up now and shows how to properly make SQL Server backups and troubleshoot them, as well as how to read the log and figure out what the heck it's trying to say. Any feedback on the video besides 'don't use vimeo' would be...
Zargon, I just uploaded a video that will give you the security you need that your backups work as it goes through how to properly troubleshoot it as well. It's all step by step on the GUI. It might help you out unless you feel secure in your backups on SQL server already.
Is there...
Hi,
Guys sorry for the late reply! I bumped this once and got no replies for the day, and figured it was long buried and dead, then I noticed people were viewing the site from here and saw these questions.
I saw your post and I would like to help out if I can, but I need more...
Hi Fellow Anandtechers,
I've been focusing a lot on SQL server internals and it hit me. Jeez do I run into a lot of sys admins that are stuck supporting SQL server while their environment goes to complete hell, since they were never trained as a DBA. In my 5 part blog I hope to remove most of...
Hi team,
I am trying to help out a friend whose client computers are taking forever to bring up 'my computer', they have mapped drives in there. They are running SBS2008 which I don't really use yet. I bring up event viewer and see this:
Could not execute the following script...
hi guys
I need to log into a website every 30 mins for 9 hours, and collect the output to see if there are any errors. Do you have any recommendations on how to automate this? If I find a tool that is easy to script mouseclicks and actions to via a WYSIWYG interface, that would be great...
SlickSnake is absolutely right. I remember going with my dad to buy a VGA card (real VGA, as in MAX capability of VGA graphics, not even SVGA) for Flight Simulator to run on DOS 3.5 on his XT.
The prices were like 40% cheaper. Pomona, Reseda, Santa Ana, amazing deals were found. Dang I...
Wow Martin, how's the weather up there on your high horse? Good I hope. What the hell are you talking about 'they don't understand'?
My intention was to joke (I hope it was obvious to you big shot) about Gordon Brown potentially (now certainly) being ousted and also to hit at the...
Oh,
I might have linked the wrong article. Basically it was mentioning how the Queen of England appoints a PM if an agreement cannot be made within the parties, and how he has to resign to her personally. I like how the Brits and members of the Commonwealth (I'm looking at you...
