Hi,

Here are some ideas. For each server...

Daily :

- Incremental Backups each night
- Check event logs for errors and security breaches
- Perform logged performance monitoring at 15min intervals.

Weekly :

- Full Backups
- Check/Review disk space usage.

Monthly :

- Defragmentation of all disks.
- Run web usage reports (assuming you do this)
- Review summarised performance motor logs looking for resource usage trends leading to bottlenecks.
- Archive log files and Performance monitor logs

3 Monthy :

-Verification that the backup server can perform that role by failing over to it.
- Performance tuning on the SQLServer.

6 Monthly :

- Verification of backups, preferably by a trial restore. This would bebest to happen to another machine...

Cheers,
Tim.
