Motivational time again!
Today I want to talk about being lazy with your data. More likely than not, it’s not your data, it’s your firm’s data. Make sure you’re taking precautions. There are so many features in SQL Server that provide for this type of security. Now the image below describes a certain type of DBA or BI Admin. Does this sounds familiar?
1. The backups run like clockwork, we test them every so often. (This means they might only work every so often)…
2. The offshore folks run the backups (Let’s hope they can restore them and find any lost data as well.)
3. What’s an encryption key? (Please ask your manager to smack you on the head.)
The bottom line is, some tasks are push, some are walk behinds, and some are riding. Don’t confuse them and you’ll be just fine!
I’m looking forward to seeing all of you and speaking to you soon.
