Recovery Model logging

  • Hi,

    IS there any way to trace out if any login having sysadmin rights changing the recovery model is logged anywhere ???

    Because this effect the daily backup schedules of full and transaction logs and will be a problem if the system is crashed and endup with data loss.

    Thanks!

  • Thank You Gila!:-)

  • i dont know how your backup goes but if you use backup jobs your transaction log backup will fail if you do a transaction log backup on a database with recoverymode =simple. if you use sql backup you have the option to mail you if the backup failed (for example).

    so if you have something monitoring your transaction log backup jobs and the jobs are doing an hourly backup you get a notification in an hour something is wrong ...

  • Yeah! True i agree to the point you have mentioned.

    Thank you.
