Microsoft Puts SQL Server in Line With Rivals on Backup Databases | |
|
||
| Time: 10:54 EST/15:54 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Microsoft last month announced that it would no longer charge Software Assurance customers for backup database servers, provided that the systems remain off unless the main database crashes or is corrupted and that they aren't used for processing on a regular basis. Previously, users had to pay a variable fee to install a backup SQL Server database for disaster recovery purposes, said Sunny Charlebois, a product manager in Microsoft's worldwide licensing and pricing group. | ||

I wonder how common this scenario is?
Most companies I have worked with use their backup recovery systems for pre-production testing. So that means they aren't turned off... however they aren't used for production either. Perhaps the journalist just doesn't understand technology. |

There are other methods that can be used to achieve this. See below #2 "Isn't it necessary that a back-up server be up-to-date with the main database." Kind of. The way that my company is handling it is we use our EMC SAN to take BCVs of the environment at a regular schedule and replicate it across the WAN where it would wait for us to boot the failover target in the event of a failure.
