Running SQL Server without a DBA? The bit at the very bottom is for you ↓
The problem
Most SQL Server emergencies were avoidable
The warning signs sit in the DMVs for months. Nothing shows up on a dashboard until it's a 2am outage.
Backups that can't actually restore , or a FULL-recovery log with no log backups, growing until the disk fills.
No integrity checks : disk corruption spreading silently until a query hits the bad page.
TempDB and memory misconfigured , throttling every query the moment load arrives.
The score
You can't see this from a dashboard
A neglected SQL Server hides its risk in plain sight: green on every monitor, one bad night from an outage. This is what the check reveals. Where does yours land?

Send the report back and I’ll walk you through it, no charge .
Run the check, fix what it finds, and for a lot of teams that’s the whole story. No pitch, glad to help.
But if that report just puts a number on something you already suspected, that no one is really watching your SQL Server, a one-time fix won’t hold.
