    Turn it off. That's why the DB's repeatedly going offline.

    Not sure how to check dataloss allowance

    Um, that's not something that you look for in the database. That's something you ask your users. If something happens and the database fails, how much data are they prepared to lose? A full day? A week? A month? All of it? Less than a day?

  • You also need to do something about that transaction log. My guess - too many VLFs and too large. Would explain why recovery's taking long. See http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/kimberly/post/8-Steps-to-better-Transaction-Log-throughput.aspx for advice on fixing that.
