Taking FULL backup of multiple databases using maintenance plan(s).
Should I :
a) Have a separate Maintenance Plan to backup each database
- or -
b) Have one maintenance plan to backup multiple databases
Option a) will allow me to easily monitor and notify (email) details of a failure.
Option b) will give me one job to maintain but little control over reports
Timing :
With Option a) can all maintenance plans run at the same time - will this effect performance ?
With Option b) I assume that the one maintenance plan will run for all databases at the same time.
Thanks
