Disaster recovery - local account question

Hi Lance,
SQL Server Disaster Recovery Plan Examples at
http://sql-server-
performance.com/disaster_recover_examples.asp
Also If you are interested you can download and read the
MS SQL Server 2000 Operations guide from

There can be many disasters which are out of scope of this
topic. Disaster can be a serious non-recoverable Database
corruption due to HD failures or a non-recoverable system
crash which needs reinstallation from scratch. In both
cases you have to restore a copy of recent backup of your
database. Your Backup plan also varies from how important
is the data for you.
I did not undertand exactly what u mean by local accounts.
May be someone can answer this in a better way. Assuming
that you are taking about SQL Server logins, here are few
pointers to resolve such issues...

>We have sql server 7.0 and 2000 servers that run
databases used for web front-ends in asp. I have been
given the task of coming up with disaster recovery
procedures. It looks like the databases are backed up
properly off site, however, each database has a number of
local accounts used by the asp developers to access the
stored procedures. My concern is if a disaster would
occur, how could the local accounts be migrated to the new
servers.
>In other words, can local accounts be backed up and
restored or is there a better way of doing this.

>Thanks for all the information, that's just what I was looking for. By the way, I also
found a nice script for transfering the accounts at www.winnetmag.com/sqlserver/a...090/16090.html.
