Change the database from Simple recovery mode to Full mode

We would like to change the database from simple recovery mode to full mode. Can we have those instructions so we can setup hourly log backups?


You may find in Full mode, the log file will grow very large, very fast where Simple mode minimizes this growth. Here are the steps that can be done by your developer at any time:

1. Log into SQL Server
2. Expand the computer name
3. Expand "Databases"
4. Right Click the database name
5. Click "Properties"
6. Click "Options"
7. change the Changepoint database from Simple mode to full mode
