MessageThe professional way of doing something like that is by having redundant
servers with the drives set in a raid array. That way if one of the servers
goes down it can switch to the working server. If you are a web server for
professional companies that is what you need to do else you will get yourself
in a whole lot of trouble further down the road.

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?
