hate the fact that the squeakiest wheel gets the most attention.
SQL dumps are destroying my backup systems, but the powers that be want to dedicate the most resources to Exchange because our Exch admins complain the loudest.
just turned up a new 60TB storage array... they want to dedicate it to the exchange server backing up 6TB/month and never mind this SQL server that's generating 20TB/month.
that's because chain mails are more important than your data
Try throwing SOX around.
coworker 1: I can't talk to this guy, it's like he speaks in parables.
coworker 2: he is Asian...
I guess the core problem is that when Exchange backups fail, the server stops pruning logs, the drive fills up, and Exchange crashes.
when SQL backups fail, no one notices until a DB gets destroyed and we can't restore the database dump.
