Well, if you wanted to run SQLServer (I am assuming Microsoft SQLServer), you could dual-boot, but keep in mind you would not be able to run them at the same time, generally speaking. Normally, when you dual boot, you are working with one OS, or the other. There are certain solutions (I think VMWare could do something like this), but keeping costs, details, and simplicity in mind, it's probably not the best solution.

If you accepted beforehand that you could only work with one at a time, it could be a very viable solution... Also, you could run multiple Unix SQL databases on the same machine at once (MySql, Oracle, PostgreSQL, etc...) without having to reboot to switch operating systems, although you would take somewhat of a performance hit running so much at once... Yet another twist on the latter option would be to have the databases set up, just turn each one on as you use it, and off again when you're done.

Lots of choices!

amcleanup

AMCLEANUP(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      AMCLEANUP(8)

NAME

       amcleanup - run the Amanda cleanup process after a failure

SYNOPSIS

       amcleanup config

DESCRIPTION

       Amcleanup  generates  the  Amanda  Mail Report and updates the Amanda databases after a system failure on a tape server host.  This cleanup
       process is normally done automatically as part of the amdump program, but if amdump cannot complete for some reason (usually because  of  a
       tape server host crash), amcleanup must be run some time later (usually during system boot).

       See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.

EXAMPLES

       This example runs the Amanda cleanup process by hand after a failure.

	      % amcleanup DailySet1

       Putting	the following line in a system boot script (e.g. /etc/rc.local) runs the Amanda cleanup process as part of the reboot, eliminating
       the need to run it by hand.

	      /usr/sbin/amcleanup DailySet1

       If nothing needs to be done, amcleanup exits normally with the message:

	      amcleanup: no unprocessed logfile to clean up.
