Webcast : SQL Server Database Administration Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices

We’ll review the standard maintenance steps like backups and index maintenance, best practices for granting and managing access, basic disaster recovery planning, and we’ll talk about some easy to miss stuff like trimming the SQL agent job history and the SMTP email log. We’ll finish up with a discussion of some free resources that can every DBA should know about.
