We have a daily maintenance plan in SQL Server 2005 that performs a full backup to disk using the "Back Up Database Task". "Verify backup integrity" is enabled but from what I understand data integrity is only validated if the backup media contains a checksum, which is enabled by the "WITH CHECKSUM" option during the backup. I can see ...
Our intranet was originally setup to be at the root of its site collection. We are trying to change this so that our new internet site will live in the root and the intranet will be a sub-site. At this point I have created a new web application and site collection to house the internet and intranet. I used the 'stsadm -o backup' command...

There seems to be no end to conflicting information out there regarding whether or not it is necessary to use "setsitelock" when backing up a site collection for deployment to another farm, if both farms have SP2 installed. According to Bob Fox's blog (comments disabled), it is no longer necessary: http://bobfox.securespsite.com/foxblog...
I have a nightly job that does a bunch of inserts. Since I have a full recovery model, this increases my transaction log size. Currently I have my log file big enough to accommodate these transactions, but the issue is that the transaction log is mostly empty throughout the day. Is it an issue (besides disk space) to have a huge (most...
I'm trying to use rsync to backup MySQL data. The tables use the MyISAM storage engine. My expectation was that after the first rsync, subsequent rsyncs would be very fast. It turns out, if the table data was changed at all, the operation slows way down. I did an experiment with a 989 MB MYD file containing real data: Test 1 - recop...
I have a script that will produce daily rotated backups for mysql, but I can't find anything similar for postgres. I have also discovered that it has an online backup capability, which should come in handy since this is a production site. Does anyone know of a program/script that will help me, or even a way to do it? Thanks. ...

I wanted to reduce the size of my log file in SQL SERVER 2005, which grown to 16 gigs, so I created a backup and used the dbcc shrinkfile command to shrink it. All that is set. Now what should I do with the backup file that is created - should I delete it? What impact will deletion have? ...
We're currently using rsync to run a backup job. This job takes several hours. As there are some parts of the backup that are more important than others, we would like to ensure that they are backed up before everything else (i.e. that rsync transfers those files first). This should be easily accomplished using rsync --files-from. Un...
