Weekly survey: what kind of backups do you take?

In this week's survey I'm interested in what kind of backups you take, and also what recovery model you mostly use. If you have multiple database with different strategies, by all means respond multiple times. The more responses the better! I'll report on the survey results some time over the weekend of 5/2/2009.

A couple of notes on the survey:

  • If you're using BULK_LOGGED at all, just answer as FULL.
  • When I say full backup, I mean either full database, full filegroup, or full file backup. Same for differential.
  • I don't care whether you use a tool outside SQL Server to take your SQL backups (e.g. LiteSpeed) – it's the type of backup that's interesting.


Thanks!

PS No comments on this post please (I'll delete them straight away) – please wait for the survey results post to avoid skewing the answers.
