Backward Compatability in Yukon using backup devices?
My peers have informed me that I should no longer code my backup routine
using a backup alias via sp_addumpdevice because it is 1) Provided only for backward compatability and 2) Will not be supported in the future. Should I not be using a backup alias for these reasons? Yukon provides the commands but no where have I seen where it's only there to support backward compatability and that it is targeted to be phased out. Can someone show me this? Thanks. -Cqlboy I know nothing of dump devices going away any time soon.
