Your Backups Run Green. But Can You Actually Recover?
Most SQL Server backup failures aren’t caused by missing backups. Rather, they’re caused by strategies that were never validated under real recovery conditions. A job that runs green every night can still leave you unable to restore to a specific point in time or mean facing a recovery window you never measured and can’t meet.
Our next webinar — scheduled for Wednesday, June 17 — goes deep on the mechanics that determine what recovery is actually possible:
- How the transaction log and LSN chain define your true recovery boundary
- Where native backup approaches break down at scale
- How VSS-based snapshots interact with the SQL Server engine at a level most documentation glosses over
We’ll cover native vs. third-party tooling tradeoffs, the COPYONLY pattern, how storage-layer snapshots fit into a log chain, and the specific conditions that can silently invalidate a strategy you’ve been trusting for months.
You’ll also get live demos on AWS EC2 walk through VSS EBS snapshot backups, transaction log chain management, and point-in-time recovery, including deliberate failure scenarios that show exactly what breaks, and why.
Hosted by Randy Knight, MCM and Principal Consultant at SQL Solutions Group. Expect specifics, not slides full of checkmarks. You’ll leave with a clear picture of where your current strategy may have gaps, and practical approaches to close them and have a bullet-proof backup and recovery strategy.
See you in June!
