    Can you be more specific?

  • R service is a service to run R code in the database. There aren't specific R objects to backup.

  • Thank you everyone for your help. Here is what I'm looking for : 

    1.  How do I take backup
    2. How to patch frequently as per the patch releases (monthly/ yearly)
    3. How to recover or restore if any issues occurs

  • As others have said before R Services is a service and a series of set up steps on a server and SQL instance. Are you wondering how you can backup the entire setup? If so you'd need to look at taking an image of the entire server using some sort of infrastructure backup software (we use Veeam, there are others). Failover clustering is not an option or R services due to the security mechanisms used by R Services.

  • A native SQL SErver backup includes backup of any code or objects that run R code. Patches for SQL Server include the patches for R services.
