I have recently been handed responsibility of monitoring our MS SQL backups. I noticed that one took 23 seconds to complete, and had a bit of a look. This seems very short to me, but the file is 1Gb and does seems to be correct. Relative to the other backups, which are 40-50gb and take around 30mins, then maybe this is not far off the mark?
Obviously, the only way to *really* test it is to do a restore, but I thought I'd get a gauge from here before I go through that process (something I will be doing anyway eventually, so this is more about whether I need to prioritise that or not)
Thoughts?
