Refer to the Microsoft Technet article Backup (Transact-SQL) for an overview of backup operations in SQL Server. All databases include a configured recovery model, which dictates the type of backup and restore operations that are available. In all cases, perform a full backup of any database that has never experienced a backup. In the simple recovery model, perform regular, full backups on an ongoing basis while using the full or bulk-logged recovery model. In addition, add regular log and differential backups to the full backup schedule.

Update Health Check

The Database backup is not current health check alerts you when the indicated database does not have a current backup file. Currently, this alert is displayed when the database backup meets either one of the following conditions:

1. No differential backup in 7 days or more (Warning Alert)
2. No full backup in 7 days or more (Critical Alert)

IDERA SQL Inventory Manager does not display this alert for excluded databases. After making any change, alerts are not displayed until the new thresholds met or exceed the selected value.

Note that this window allows you to exclude databases from this alert by selecting and moving the database from Available databases to Excluded databases Lists.

To configure a health check, in the Administration view, click Manage Health Checks, and then click Configure for the appropriate health check. In this case, IDERA SQL Inventory Manager displays the Update Health Checks - Database backup is not Current window.
