February Question: What is one of your best practices for making full backups and transactions log backups of your production databases?

,

Post your responses to the above SQL Aloha Question of the Month in the comments section below (at www.bradmcgehee.com if you are viewing this from a syndicated newsfeed). If you have more than one best practice you would like to offer, please enter each one as a separate comment. And don’t forget to enter your e-mail address when you post your response, so I can contact you if you win.

I’ll pick the winner that offers what I think is the most original, useful and complete answer to the question. If some of the responses are very similar, then I will select the one that was posted first. The winner will be announced on this page the first week of March. Good luck!

For more information, click on the Question of the Month tab above.
