“Many thoughts to blog about, have I!” spoken in my best Yoda impersonation that I could muster this morning.  Spinning the wheel at the list…next up, backup strategy.  Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!

Yesterday, I was tasked with re-evaluating our existing backup strategy and determining if we are getting the most out of our existing strategy.  At the same time, I need to determine if compression will interfere or be enhanced by the DataDomain deduplication process.  We are also licensed for Red Gate SQL Backup Pro as well as HyperBac we just have not had enough time to implement those solutions.  Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy!
