    3. 3 Overview of Backup and Recovery Automated built-in task Backup SMS site server backs up: Microsoft® SQL Server™ database Site server directories Registry configuration Microsoft Windows® operating system configuration information Included in both SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 Recovery is easier in SMS 2003 SMS 2.0 required PSS intervention for tools Maintenance and recovery Web site

    4. 4 SMS Site Recovery Rules Site recovery: Begins when an SMS site code or site server name is reused in a hierarchy Is specific to that site hierarchy Site recovery is important because: Repairing and resynchronizing data are key tasks in a site recovery operation It is required to prevent interruption of operations and corruption of data in the hierarchy

    5. 5 Understanding SMS Site Recovery SMS aspects that impact recovery SMS uses distributed data and tasks SMS uses multiple accounts SMS 2.0 secondary sites are not backed up Key recovery strategies Restore requires a snapshot backup Recovery without a backup is possible with data loss Serial numbers must be resynchronizeded in recoveries involving site hierarchies

    6. 6 Summary of Supported Recovery Scenarios The physical computer stops responding The drive containing Microsoft Windows NT® or Windows 2000, SQL Server, or Systems Management Server (SMS) stops responding Windows NT or Windows 2000 stops responding and must be restored The file system becomes corrupted SQL Server stops responding and must be restored The SQL Server database becomes corrupted

    7. 7 Supported Recovery Configurations SQL Server 6.5 (SMS 2.0 only), SQL Server 7.0, and SQL Server 2000 Local or remote Local or remote SMS provider With no backup, old backup, or current backup Secondary site or primary site with or without a parent site Recovering a primary site with: No child sites Any mix of secondary and primary child sites

    8. 8 Understanding SMS Serial Numbers Serial numbers are used for the next object created Must be synchronized upon a recovery, otherwise data loss or corruption may occur SMS site database Select * from NextIds SMS registry keys Replication Manager Discovery Data Manager Site Control Manager SMS installation directory Sms\Inboxes\Replmgr.box\History\sitecode.trs

    9. 9 Testing a Backup and Recovery Plan Planning – cover all potential issues Backup – verify backup plan is working as expected Test recovery – verify it is possible to recover if required

    10. 10 Planning Phase Document: Site hierarchy structure and site codes All custom accounts created Domain structure and trusts Any customizations to SMS SMS serial numbers (NextIds table and Replication Manager history file) It is necessary for the administrator to create an SMS client connection account If not, clients can be orphaned Required for SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 if standard clients are used

    11. 11 Backup Phase Use Backup SMS Site Server task Automated procedure to safely back up a site server Copies important site server files (not binaries) Copies SMS-related registry data Copies SQL Server database Creates log of server configuration data Can run optional procedures after backup SMS 2003 supports backup of secondary sites Copy the backup to tape and store the tape offsite Do not leave data on the site server Option to manually back up distribution points SMS can redeploy packages No real need to back up other site systems Easy to re-create after a restore process

    12. 12 Test Recovery Phase Verify that the backup plan works Ensure necessary data was backed up Ensure plan can be used to recover site in a timely manner Three steps Rebuild – SQL and SMS servers Restore – data to rebuilt servers Repair – resynchronize site and hierarchy data Restoring recovery data is the last step in a standalone site scenario Repair is necessary for site hierarchies
