Showcases Transact-SQL snapshot backup on SQL Server 2022 that freezes writes, generates a readable BKM metadata file, and lets T‑log rollforward from a hardware snapshot; demos mount snapshots, restore to new volumes, and run cleanup with seven–ten day retention. Uses Dell storage snapshots (PowerStore and ECS), orchestration via PowerShell, and S3 object storage integration that offloads large read‑only tables. A demo joins 200 million parquet rows in object storage and returns results in ~15–20 seconds, proving the approach both performant and practical.
