[Cialug] Landscape of SQL servers

[Kyle Hamilton]

   Per my viewpoint, things seem to be transitioning to every 
application having it's own little database, or every few apps sharing 
one database. The smaller database seems good for avoiding corruption, 
and it is just easier to just throw one up for use. This is opposed to 
every application sharing a single, massive database.

   What about backups? Is there a good software to backup an IT 
landscape full of multiple databases? Am I correct that things seem to 
be transitioning into every application having their own database? I 
welcome anyones opinions and suggestions.


Thank you,

Kyle
