Video: Backup Devices, Backup Sets, Database Dumps and Media Sets

  • ·Skill level: 200 (Beginner - Intermediate)
  • ·Run Time: 11:16
  • ·Instructor: Scott Whigham

Description:

This video is designed to help you speak the language of SQL Server (so that you at least sound like you know what you're talking about!). This video is really intended for those somewhat new to taking backups in SQL Server 2000. It covers basic topics like the terms used when discussing backups, old terms, uncommon terms that you might hear or see used for backups, and the use of the "Backup Device" in SQL Server. You'll also learn about the concepts of backup sets and media sets and how SQL Server uses each.

This video was recorded using SQL Server 2000 but the concepts and even the screens are almost identical in SQL Server 2005.
