Importance

The importance of a database is often the most crucial factor in determining your backup strategy. Consider the following strategies while backing up important or critical databases:

• Back up these databases often.
• Archive the associated transaction log files so that they can be recovered up to the latest committed transaction.
• Archive the associated transaction log files often.

  Note: When you archive transaction log files frequently, you reduce the number of transactions potentially lost if your database and transaction log files fail and have to be recovered.
