Microsoft SQL server concepts

Microsoft SQL Server environments are frequently mission-critical and must be maintained 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. Procedures and plans must be in place to ensure the quick recovery of data in
the event of data loss.
Using the transaction logs associated with each database, you can quickly recover your databases.
Transactions that were not committed can be rolled back, while transactions that were committed can
be written to disk.
While transaction logs assure that only committed transactions are written and restored, in order to
use them correctly, you must have a comprehensive backup plan that regularly backs up these logs.
Additionally, when you reconstruct a database, you must restore the database files and logs using only
the procedures set out below.
Installing the Data Protector Express Agent for Microsoft SQL Server
When you install Data Protector Express on a machine that is running Microsoft SQL Server, an evaluation
version of the agent for Microsoft SQL Server is also automatically installed. You can use the optional
agent for a 60-day evaluation period. To continue using the agent beyond the evaluation period, you
must purchase a license and activate it from the Data Protector Express License Manager.
