What do most people do for backups instead of the SQL agents? We are running SQL7 and have setup nightly backups using the SQL Database Maintenance Wizard - I have restored from this backup on a second machine and it seems ok - am I missing something?

Believe it or not, it actually worked. I did have some issues with putting things in the correct state and the order in which things were restored and such, but it worked, including the complete restoration of ALL meta-databases. I had to rebuild the server this beast was on because the folks who built it originally totally hosed it. I know I'm probably the exception that makes the rule, but it did work for me... eventually. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Wes Owen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 10:16 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: BackupEXEC If it were just the SQL file in use it would be a different error message and just skip the files. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew S.

Otherwise, the SQL files would be in use by SQL itself. You could always backup database dumps... Most people avoid the SQL agents, btw... ============================================================== ASB - http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB/?File=~MoreInfo.TXT ============================================================== "How do you tell when sour cream has gone off?" -- Inkswitch. >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ed Esgro >Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 9:06 AM >To: NT 2000 Discussions >Subject: RE: BackupEXEC > > >Backup exec help is about as good as a screen door on a submarine. >I have a question.
