    As Brian states, as long as you don't have to recover any custom stored procedures that you built into master you're probably ok if you have a script of your...

  • RE: Trouble restoring Master DB

  • RE: Rights to run SQL jobs

    You need to be a memeber of the TargetServersRole role in the msdb database. I have a feeling that this role grants more than just execute permissions though. ...

  • RE: Dynamic SQL

    I'm not sure I understand your question.

    Your statement above is valid except for a small syntax error. You need to define the parameter's datatype.

  • RE: Best way to restore a backup from another server at each night ?

  • RE: How do I restore a DB that wants 6X more space then it needs?

    Ed,

    about the filelist error you got. Haven't seen that one before to be honest.
