Backup of Databases

For a static READ Only database with no scheduled job, is there any
databases other than those mentioned below I have to make a backup for
recovery purpose ?
1) User Database
2) Master
3) MSDB
Thanks

No. With no scheduled jobs you probably don't even need the msdb (if there's
no alerts, operators, or email support defined).
The master db is only needed to restore the logins that might map to db user
accounts.
The user db is generally restorable without any system db restore (that's
why you can restore a user db on any given SQL Server ...).
|||Hi,
You are good enough.
If it is a read only database, then you could backup the database once and
keep it in a safe location. This includes all your system databases
(Master and MSDB) as well as your user databases.
