In continuation of the previous recipe, the storage server configuration helps the data platform to keep up the scalability. Similarly, the storage architecture can also help to attain the quick recovery of data in case of failure.

Business-critical applications depend on SQL Server and its features maintain the data integrity as well as ensure data availability and performance, which requires the storage architecture to store data on high-performance and highly available storage resources.

In this recipe, we will go through the guidelines to be followed in configuring SQL Server storage architecture for quick recovery. The default features from Windows operating system Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) supports the SQL Server database backup and recovery to simply the data protection to ensure the high availability. The data protection strategy must be based on a recovery point and time objectives by keeping five 9s (99.999 percent...
