mlindman Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 greetings, I have the wonderful task of performing backups on an NT4/SQL Server 6.5 system. I know, it ought to be updated, and I expect it will be replaced with current OS and database in a few months. In the meantime, I need to be backing it up. The copy of Retrospect Multi-server with the SQL DB module will not backup a SQL 6.5 database -- it appears to only work with SQL 7 and 2000, and the open file module will not backup a running SQL database. Has anyone run into this situation before, and if so, how did you solve it? Thanks in advance, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi The open file module will back up a running SQL database. (Actually it will backup any database it just can't do an incremental backup - you will get a full every time) You just need to make sure to run the backup at a time when disk activity is low. Otherwise the open file function won't be able to engage. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
