Chapter 13: Database Backup and Restoration
There is a new method for conducting scheduled backups and restores on the
Dell Precision 330 and 340 Workstation platforms. The change only affects
customers using these machines with Windows 2000 and the Microsoft SQL
Server 2000 or SQL Server Desktop Engine database.
Dell Precision 330
The database backup and restore procedures are done using SQL Server Agent
tasks. There are two tasks that are configured at BEST. The “BackUp
AccessControl” task is used for both scheduling backups and conducting
random database backups. By default, the task is setup to run full database
backup every Sunday at 12:00 am. The scheduling options can be customized for
specific customer needs. Once the task is scheduled, it will run automatically at
the designated time as long as the SQL Server Agent service is running. If the
service is not running, the task will not be completed. The “Restore
AccessControl” task allows the user the ability to restore a previous backup set
of their database. Below are the two tasks that are configured at BEST.
