Hello,
We are going through are back-up procedures and are cleaning them up. Right now we have a sub-plan for almost each task (backup database, Shrink Database, Check database Integrity). What we want to do is create one or two sub plans.

My question is: is there a preferred order of when to the run the task? Should we shrink the database first then back it up, or should we rebuild and reorganize the index first?

Thank you
