Currently, there are 212,633 companies that are using Microsoft SQL servers, and this number includes well-known enterprises, such as IBM and Oracle. SQL server databases store all kinds of data, and a significant amount of this data is critical for the performance and success of a business. To prevent data disasters, such as data theft, loss, or destruction, IT teams learn how to backup and restore SQL server databases.
