Creating a Single Job for Backup and Restore on Two Separate SQL Agents Running on SQL2008 and SQL 2016 When managing multiple databases across different servers, it’s common to have separate jobs for backup and restore. However, with the increasing complexity of database management and the need for efficiency, some administrators might wonder if they can combine these two jobs into a single job. In this article, we’ll explore how to create a single job that performs both backup and restore operations on two separate SQL agents running on SQL2008 and SQL 2016.

Introduction to Pandas - Applying Filter in GroupBy Pandas is a powerful library for data manipulation and analysis in Python. One of the most commonly used features in pandas is the groupby function, which allows you to group your data by one or more columns and perform various operations on each group. In this article, we will explore how to apply filters in groupby operations using Pandas. We will cover three approaches: using named aggregations, creating a new column and then aggregating, and using the crosstab function with DataFrame.
