Maintenence Plan Questions

I wanted to know at what time should I be scheduling the data optimization and data integrity jobs? Will these jobs hinder performance? If so then I should probably schedule the jobs after work hours.

Also, we were not going to use the backup/recovery jobs that sql server offer, we have our own backup software. So, will the data integrity or data optimization job affect backups? Should I perform these jobs before or after backups?

Thanks,
LauraThat is a good plan. The optimizations are NORMALLY non-intrusive, but particularly the first time they are run after significant changes they can hit the database like a freight train.

Your plan to start the optimizations after the backup finishes is a good one.

-PatP|||I would recommend not to use 3rd-party backup tools (unless it's SQLLiteSpeed) to backup live database/transaction log. Use native or purchase SQLLiteSpeed to create OS backup files, and only then use other tools to backup to a tape, for example.|||Ok thanks for the responses, it helped me alot
