What are Full Recovery models configured to content databases

hi
now in my SharePoint farm SharePoint Content Database are not  configured to run with Full Recovery model
what are these full recovery models and is needed 
adil

With a full recovery mode you can (in case of appropriate backuping) to restore database to almost any specific time. Like "Monday, 2:34PM".
So if your SharePoint site is using to exchange documents and heavily updating - I recommend you to switch Full mode on and backup full database at least once per week, backup logs every hour or as your information policy requires.
If this is mostly readonly site (like publishing portal) it is not a problem to run it in Simple mode, IMHO.

  • DPM is Only Allowing Express Full Backups For a Database Set to Full Recovery Model

    I have just transitioned my SQL backups from a server running SCDPM 2012 SP1 to a different server running 2012 R2.  All backups are working as expected except for one.  The database in question is supposed to be backuped up iwht a daily express
    full and hourly incremental schedule.  Although the database is set to full recovery model, the new DPM server says that recovery points will be created for that database based on the express full backup schedule.  I checked the logs on the old DPM
    server and the transaction log backups were working just fine up until I stopped protection the data source.  The SQL server is 2008 R2 SP2.  Other databases on the same server that are set to full recovery model are working just fine.  If we
    switch the recovery model of a database that isn't protected by DPM and then start the wizard to add it to the protection group it properly sees the difference when we flip the recovery model back and forth.  We also tried switching the recovery model
    on the failing database from full to simple and then back again, but to no avail.  Both the SQL server and the DPM server have been rebooted.  We have successfully set up transaction log backups in a SQL maintenance plan as a test, so we know the
    database is really using the full recovery model.
    Is there anything that someone knows about that can trigger a false positive for recovery model to backup type mismatches?

    I was having this same problem and appear to have found a solution.  I wanted hourly recovery points for all my SQL databases.  I was getting hourly for some but not for others.  The others were only getting a recovery point for the Full Express
    backup.  I noted that some of the databases were in simple recovery mode so I changed them to full recovery mode but that did not solve my problem.  I was still not getting the hourly recovery points.
    I found an article that seemed to indicate that SCDPM did not recognize any change in the recovery model once protection had started.  My database was in simple recovery mode when I added it (auto) to protection so even though I changed it to full recovery
    mode SCDPM continued to treat it as simple. 
    I tested this by 1) verify my db is set to full recovery, 2) back it up and restore it with a new name, 3) allow SCDPM to automatically add it to protection over night, 4) verify the next day I am getting hourly recovery points on the copy of the db. 
    It worked.  The original db was still only getting express full recovery points and the copy was getting hourly.  I suppose that if I don't want to restore a production db with an alternate name I will have to remove the db from protection, verify
    that it is set to full, and then add it back to protection.   I have not tested this yet.
    This is the article I read:

  • Backup strategy for FULL recovery model

    Hi,
     We currently have a DB that is in a FULL recovery model and is Synchronized (mirrored) to a DR site. For extra safety, we are told to take regular backups of this db. Now is it possible to take a weekly FULL backup and then differential throughout
    the week. OR have two FULL backups (Sunday and Wednesday) and then differential on other days. 
    Does the recovery model affect how a backup can be taken. Will this affect the log file (it is currently set to restricted growth by 400mb)
    System: SQL Server - 2008 R2
    Thanks.

    Thanks Ashwin and Prashant. Based on your responses and the acceptable RTO i have the below backup plan. 
    Sunday and Wednesday FULL backup
    Everyday - Differential
    The transaction log done every hour.  
    For example: 
    Sunday 11:50pm - FULL backup done
    Differential done daily at 1:00 am
    So if the DB crashed or corrupted on Wednesday @ 6:am , I would have to restore with the below ?
    -- Use the Sunday FULL backup
    -- Use the differential from Wednesday @ 1:00 am 
    -- Use the transaction logs from 1:00 am to 6 am.
    Would that work?

  • Backup - full recovery model

    So where do I change it please ?
    Is this the "BackupFull" option in the BackupBizTalkServer properties window ?

    The Backup BizTalk Server SQL
    Server Agent job is the only supported method to back up the BizTalk Server databases.
    This job requires all BizTalk Server databases to use a Full Recovery Model. 
    How to maintain and troubleshoot BizTalk Server databases
    Using
    SQL Server Management Studio To View/Modify Recovery Model
    After connecting to the appropriate instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, in Object Explorer, click the server name to expand the server tree.
    Expand Databases, and, depending on the database, either select a user database or expand System Databases and select a system database.
    Right-click the database, and then click Properties, which opens the Database Properties dialog box.
    In the Select a page pane, click Options.
    The current recovery model is displayed in the Recovery model list box.
    Optionally, to change the recovery model select a different model list. The choices are Full, Bulk-logged, or Simple.
    Click OK.

  • Changing from full recovery model to simple in sql 2012 always on

    how do I change from a full recovery model to simple in an always on sql 2012 setup? When I try to change it it gave this error

    The physical size of the log file will not change unless you manually shrink the file.  A backup marks the log space as "reusable" internally.

  • What are the limits of using windows internal database in RMS?

    hi,
    We dont have SQL server to use and opting to use windows internal database
    What are the limits of using windows internal database in RMS?
    tnx

    Hi,
    the main limitation is that you cannot access a SQL express from remote (even there are tricks to work around that), so you cannot add another machine to the RMS cluster. 
    Microsoft's recommendation for production systems is to use a full SQL server, what allows you clustering and running all sorts of maintenance tasks.
    Other than that SQL Express has a 10GB total limitation for all databases running on that server.
    See also http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772673(v=WS.10).aspx for RMS hardware and software requirements. 
    Hope that helps,

    dbms_xplan.display_cursor functionV$SQL_PLAN-this is dynamic perfomance view which contain execution plan information for each child cursor loaded in the library cache.
    DBA_HIST_SQL_PLAN- data dictionary view also contain execution plan information for each child cursor bun in workload repository.Actually this view captures information from V$SQL_PLAN and is used with the DBA_HIST_SQLSTAT .
    dbms_xplan.display_cursor - function displays explain plan of any cursor loaded in the cursor cache. See more information below links:

  • What are rthe recovery tols for Real Time

    how to recover my Data in time of crash . can I partition my PXI controlller running in realtime in c and D . what are the advantages and Disadvantages.
    Suresh Thangappan

    Suresh -
    When configured properly RT systems are very stable deterministic systems, but on rare occasions a crash can still occur. In most situations recovering data may be as simple as FTP'ing to the RT system and downloading the data files. However, if a crash occurs while a file is being written it can corrupt the file, the sector on the disk, and possibly even the drive (similar to the behavior in any OS).
    If the PXI chassis is booted into windows, any disk recovery tools that runs in windows may be used to attempt recover corrupt files or sectors.
    Partitioning a drive when using Windows works great, but is not supported in RT. At this time RT will only recognize the first partition on each physical drive.

  • What are the access permissions on Site Contents?

    Hello

    What are the access permissions? Can anyone see that page?

    Go to Site Settings -> Users and Permissions -> Site Permissions -> In the ribbon select Permission levels. Here you can see different permission levels like Read, Contribute etc.
    You can create a permission level by clicking on Add a permission level. Select the permissions you want to give the users. "Make sure to not give the permission "View Application Pages  -  View forms, views, and application pages. Enumerate
    lists."
    Now you can create a SharePoint group and associate this permission level to that group. Finally add those users to this group and they won't have access to Site Contents.

  • What are the different model numbers for the glossy screen and the matte?

    I just bought a 2.5 MBP from bestbuy and before I open it up I want to make sure I didn't get the glossy screen. Is there a way to tell from the box? It doesn't say glossy screen on it but I wasn't sure.
    I am just switching over from having to use a PC for 15 years back to where I started using macs. What are the benefits of the glossy screen?

    You may want to check out your local Apple store where both the glossy and matte screens are on display.
    Glossy screens provide more vivid, vibrant colors and deeper, richer blacks. They're great for watching movies, viewing photos, etc.
    Matte screens are good for use in high-sunlight environments or in situations where you have a lot of light shining on your screen. Many professional photographers opt for these screens because they more accurately reflect how a photo will look when printed. (Don't be confused -- photos look better on the glossy screen, but when you print them they'll look less vivid. Photographers don't like that because it makes it tough to anticipate how a photo will look when printed.)
    Here's my two cents: I've spent 20 years on a matte screen. I used the glossy one for a day and you couldn't pay me to switch back. In my opinion, the glossy screen is fantastic.
