Question

Scenario: You are working in a test environment which contains various Server Operating systems. You have put in a considerable amount of work and all current testing Virtual Servers are working perfectly. You want to test a new difficult procedure, yet you are concerned you might render the current state of your server unusable causing you to lose even more time. What is a quick way to preserve the state of your server enabling you to roll back so you can start your test procedure again with only minimal amount of time lost?

Explanation / Answer

Answer)

The quickest way is to performing a backup which will enable one to preserve the state of the server that would enable one to roll back with a minimal amount of time loss.

Backing up the SQL Server database would help one to run the test restored as backup and also store the lost copied safe also helps to protect from potential catastrophic data loss.

Some of the reason of loss can be:

Media failure, user errors, dropping a table, hardware failures, loss of server, damaging the disk drive, natural disaster, test scenarios, etc.

So even if one is performing any test the data is to be preserved before it is lost completely and the scripts to restore should be kept handy.
