Just a quick note about some upcoming sessions I’m presenting at SQL Server User groups over the next couple of months:

18th July – SQL SouthWest (Exeter) – Using PowerShell to Automate SQL Server Backups and Restores 

7th August – SQL Southampton – Using PowerShell to Automate SQL Server Backups and Restores

17th October – Cardiff SQL User group – Using PowerShell to Automate SQL Server Backups and Restores

The session will be about how I’m using PowerShell to manage awkward backup scheduling (instances with hundreds of databases), performing automated restores to test those backups, and then to verify the restored database. With all of this being logged somewhere to keep the auditors happy.

Hopefully see some of you there.
