There's certainly a difference between [Microsoft] SQL Server, which is
what we're talking about, and "a SQL database," which is not what we're
talking about.  If we were talking about an Oracle database, calling it
SQL Server would be inaccurate, at best, and I'd be recommending a
different backup strategy.

It's NOT required, as I've tried to make clear, even pointing out the
relevant technical documents.  I'd rather be snappy than perpetuate
misinformation.  And I'd rather you either keep it professional, or
refrain from replying at all.  Nobody's gauging your worth by the volume
of your posts.
