  I open this discussion to have different opinions about backups applications using VSS API snapshot + SQL Writer approach to backup SQL databases and SQL Server backups.Can anyone give me the pros & cons of using VSS snapshot backups for full and differential backups vs SQL Server backup?When VSS backups is better, why or opposite. If anybody has experience please share it with me. Thank you,Alena |

| The vast majority of us will insist that SQL Server backups are far superior to any 3rd party tape backup software. DBAs should be responsible for backup/recovery of the databases, and the tape admin team should be responsible for the tapes. In this way, you have the people most familiar with the technologies working on their parts.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog"Let's begin with the premise that everything you've done up until this point is wrong." |
