Martin, Don't take the admins word for it. I recommend that you schedule a "show-and-tell" meeting to actually see backup and recovery in action. You can restore to a VM.

That's my major advantage I have an entire infrastructure behind me. Lot of experts on call. Now in saying that we have only just started this so we haven't restored a full implementation yet! But I do have the email form the Admins saying the backup and recovery has been tested and is bullet proof. My get out of jail free card - as if! Actually this is an area that does give me some concern. Restoring a whole farm is not something I look forward to even thinking about trying. Actually I am thinking of doing a full copy of the server just to be on the safe side. Our SQL Server is currently mirrored but this will be changed at some point to clustered by the admins. Oh now you have made me a little nervous (<: Martin Martin WP Reid Training and Assessment Unit Riddle Hall Belfast tel: 02890 974465 ________________________________ From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com on behalf of Eric Barro Sent: Tue 05/06/2007 20:00 To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] This on SharePoint Martin, Have you actually had to restore a SP server after the production one crashed? :) Eric No virus found in this incoming message.
