Under your log shipping section you might wish to include the copy and restore schedules.

- Application name
- Application’s Vendor (contact)
- Internal Application Support Contact
- Application connectivity (uses DSN ODBC, Web Application etc.)

Good job, it is very useful for junior DBAs and help us to make a better planning of a DB environment.

Congratulations!

Brad,

I would add a section on security–SQL/Domain accounts allowed in the DB and permission levels. Also if there are any Application roles and permissions for this database.

I am not sure how to handle the Last Full/Differential/Log Backup rows. Mine are all scheduled up (SQL Jobs calling Stored Proc using Red-Gate) and fulls are taken weekly, differentials nightly and tlogs hourly (or every half hour/quarter hour depending on DR level).

Thanks!
