Compaq Backup and Recovery for Microsoft SQL Server 6.x Page 7 The information contained in this documents updates and adds to the information contained in the paper Compaq Backup and Recovery with Microsoft SQL Server, which was released in Oct. 1994. The additions in this paper serve mainly to inform the reader on new backup related software and hardware technologies that have appeared on the market since then. These technologies include: Software: SQL Server 6.0 and 6.5 from Microsoft. ARCserve 6.0 for Windows NT from Cheyenne. ARCserve Backup Agent (DBagent) for SQL Server from Cheyenne. ARCserve RAID Option (Tape Array Software) for Windows NT from Cheyenne. Hardware: 10/20-GB, 15/30-GB, and 35/70-GB DLT Tape Drives from Compaq DLT Tape Arrays from Compaq Fast-Wide SCSI-2 Technology from Compaq SMART-2 Drive Array Controller from Compaq 100-Mbit networking products from Compaq Details on each of the above technologies will be provided later in this paper. Of these technologies, the most significant for the purposes of this paper (backup and restore) have been the introduction of Microsoft SQL Server 6.x and the Compaq DLT tape drives. The previous paper, Compaq Backup and Recovery with Microsoft SQL Server, provided information pertaining to results achieved with SQL Server version 4.21a and the Compaq 4/16GB TurboDAT (and earlier) tape drives. Readers interested in these earlier technologies should refer to that paper. However, since some of the information from the previous paper continues to apply to the current environment parts of it have been retained in this document, including the entire first chapter entitled Data Protection Concepts.4 4 Modifications have been made as needed. 1997 Compaq Computer Corporation, All Rights Reserved Doc No 444A/0797
