I restore the backup to a test system(so yes a duplicate database) then I test a series of .Net apps

This should be easy enough to implement... I think.... (Well at least a duplicate database on the same server instance)

As a DBA you want to make sure that when the SHTF you can get the systems back to working within an agreed SLA


Good point - the guy is a mate, but he should know what is a reasonable recovery time...

I would strongly recommend an image backup every month with daily incremental image backups - disk space is cheap and rebuilding systems is expensive.


I will suggest that he implements this (I think he brings in a consultant to help out with servers etc)

Another tip - if you are not running this all on a virtual machine, ensure that the SQL Server install is on a different disk to the software accessing it(this will further ensure its integrity and speed up access).


Not entirely sure what you mean here? The app is a standalone windows forms app, installed on the workstations, so I guess that should be fine.

Thanks for the links - will have a look shortly
