Sales and marketing leaders have reached a tipping point when it comes to using intent data — and they’re not looking back. More than half of all B2B marketers are already using intent data to increase sales, and Gartner predicts this figure will grow to 70 percent.

Using PowerShell, I wrote the following script that runs RESTORE VERIFYONLY against the latest backup contained in the designated directory.
