while backup job is running can we alter the data?

  • Hi,

    while backup job is running can we alter the data?

  • Yes. After you restore the database from the backup, transactions commenced while the backup was being taken will either be rolled back or rolled forward, so that the database is left in a consistent state.

  • Yes. A backup is an online operation, it takes no locks and it will not block normal user activity.
