You use the DSMAINT utility. I schedule a DSMAINT BACKUP %WINDIR% to run on a weekly basis on all of the MetaFrame Data Stores that I set up. ...Chris -----Original Message----- From: Roger Riggins [mailto:Roger@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, 19 September 2002 2:52 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] preventative stuff What happens if the data store (Access or SQL) goes down and is not able to be recovered? I know that we'd have 48 hrs to get something done, but not sure what. Could you create a new database and transfer the local host cache to it? If so, it'd be easy enough to create a new db with SQL but how would you do it with an Access database? Do any of you back up your data stores (Access or SQL)?
