No You cant. If you loose
No You cant. If you loose SQL you can throw the savesets (.dvs) files and indexes away. You have lost it all if you do not have a backup of SQL that works.....

how about DVS files import back to a normal pst?
Thanks, How about the DVS file import back to a pst file?
I Have the issue is the sql backup is only run on everyday. if i restore the backup, a day of email also be lost in the SQL. But the DVS file backup i can keep up to date to other server. so can i just move back these dvs to a pst and restore to the exchange server?
Thx a lot.
the .DVS file is an EV file,
the .DVS file is an EV file, not an email, so you can't just import these into a .PST. Which version of EV are you running as there are some tools that could help you, though I would speak with Support about this rather than "going it alone"

GN, Is this a whatif scenario
GN,
Is this a whatif scenario or are you actually having this challenge? You have sql in full recovery mode, right? i would strongly revise your sql backup strategy to take advantage of tran logs and schedule log backups throughout the day. We do every 15 minutes, I know other people here have posted every 30 minutes. It's up to you but the bottom line is that if you're concerned about losing a whole day's worth of data then you need to backup SQL more frequently.

SQL Database backup/ a way for SQL replication?
I understand that to schedule the back more frequently. but now the size for the backup is more than 2GB. and this backup need to copy to another site so i cannot consider to every 15 or 30 min for the sql.
I know Sql can replication by using MS tools to a standby sql server but i try that and make the EV serivces fail. can have any way is successful for sql replication?
Version using is 7.5
Thanks all.
Truncating the event logs is
Truncating the event logs is what the guys offering help mean. You truncate the content of the logs out to a file which shrinks your actual SQL log files. You can use these truncated files and replay them to repopulate the event logs.
What we do is truncate the logs every 15 mins. We also backup the SQL in full mode to a .bak file. Each morning we then backup the .bak file and the truncated logs to tape and delete them from the disk
By truncating your logs like this you end up with a max of 15 mins of data loss in your SQL
We also have our SQL clustered and we can fail between clusters and not have any outage on our EV or SQL
If you are having issues then maybe there is something wrong with the way you clustered your SQL

if you think about it, the backup of the logs over the course of a day will be the same no matter how frequently you do it.
