-- Things to look at:
-- How many databases are on the instance?
-- What recovery models are they using?
-- What is the log reuse wait description?
-- How full are the transaction logs?
-- What compatibility level are the databases on?
-- What is the Page Verify Option? (should be CHECKSUM)
-- Is Auto Update Statistics Asynchronously enabled?
-- What is target_recovery_time_in_seconds?
-- Is Delayed Durability enabled?
-- Make sure auto_shrink and auto_close are not enabled!
