Hello. I have built one MS SQL 2008 server for one of our company's scheduling applications. I am going to need to deploy another one for a email archive solution. I am pretty sure these database servers should be maintained and there are some best practices I should follow. These are virtual machines on ESXi and are being backed up by Veeam presently. What would you say are the three most important things I should do when maintaining a MS SQL server? Also are there any recommended training programs (books/videos) for Administering a database (I will not be doing any design or input) for someone new to it?
