Figure 17. Defining a backup strategy

If you are not sure which backup strategy to choose, use Schedule a backup task with

Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server Assistant (selected by default). See

Using Acronis

Recovery for MS SQL Server Assistant

(p. 39) for details.

If you know which backup method to use for your data, select the Schedule a backup

task manually option. In this case you will have to define backup methods and schedule

parameters for backup tasks.

To immediately run a backup task once select the Create a Backup Now option. In this case

you a full backup will be created.

For more information about backup methods see

Backup Methods

(p. 28).

Note, when backing up filegroups, transaction logs are alwa

ys backed up

independently so that they are consistent with the database after recovery.

5.2.2 Specifying a Task Execution Account

In this step of the Create a Backup wizard you specify an account that is valid for the

computer housing databases you want to backup – task execution account. These

credentials will be used during each task execution for connecting to the server and by

default for connecting to the Microsoft SQL Server (if you do not specify another account for

Microsoft SQL Server while selecting the source to backup).

Thus, the task would run as if it was started by the specified user.

Enter the user name and password, then click Next. Note, the domain name must also be

specified if the user is a member of a domain (DOMAIN\Username).
