Selecting System Databases to Back Up
Microsoft SQL Server maintains a set of system databases that are essential for the
operation of a server instance. You are encouraged to backup all system databases
after every significant change:
• master – records all the system-level information for a Microsoft SQL
Server instance
• model – used as the template for all databases created on the Microsoft
SQL Server instance
• msdb – used by Microsoft SQL Server Agent for scheduling notifications
and tasks, recording operations
System databases can be restored from a backup created within the Microsoft SQL
Server version, which the server instance is currently running.
