Good Morning All,
I have been the administrator/developer on a one person single SQL install for a few years. Life has been good. My db's are now going to be assimilated into the larger corporate SQL environment.

I will still be the db owner of my db's but since I won't be the sysadmin I'm wondering what I might run into in terms of permissions?
Backups, sp's, imports/exports, functions etc...
I know my db's will now be backed up corporately....this is good...but I don't want to have to request a restore and then wait until the process completes and someone else has time....will I be able to take a nightly or even weekly backup myself and do a restore myself?

I am looking for any insight into what autonomies I am giving up.

Thank you,
Lonnie

Get yourself added to the dbcreator server role so that you can do the restores. db_owner allows you to do the backups already.
