The General tab of the Restore Policy wizard allows you to specify the basic properties of the restore policy.
Why should you specify a name or description?
You are required to enter a unique name for each policy.
Both the name and description will appear in the status messages for your policies. Using a meaningful name and description will allow you to more easily identify problems when they occur. For example, consider specifying a description that will help you later choose the correct restore operation to monitor during a disaster recovery situation.
What options do you have for creating a restore policy?
When you create a restore policy, you can choose from between the two following options:
- Create Restore Jobs using the SQL Server Agent
- Create Restore Jobs using the SQL Safe Backup Agent
