Messagehmmmmm. interesting one?
i guess if it is just a question of backing up db files, you could script it
using vb script, and at night time, skedual it, ither a vb script file or a
batch file. Just use the Filesys.copy command with vb, i can help you with
this, or a batch file coppy drive\file destinationdrive\ and then copy it that
way.
If you don't mind, i am after setting up a server myself, so can you get me off
list? and i will also try and help with automating the backup.
Kind regards: Jamie.

Subject: sql server 2005 express backups
I have 2 sql server 2005 express server instances running that has over 4GB
of databases on them combined. I need to know how to set the server up to make
automated backups daily and to also clean out the old backups. Is there any way
to do something like this? I was told that with express, you were only allowed
to make manual backups but not really for sure about this type of thing. I
thought at first that I had lost some mission critical databases that could
have gotten a company in very deep legal trouble, but I was able to fix it
*sweat* and make a backup of the db... Just need to know how to do this a
better way than manually (4GB of databases across 35 Dbs is a little time
consuming)... Any ideas?
