backup MS SQL files onto Mac?

[southcityguy]

Hello,

 

I have a bit of a dilema. I operate Retro 6 workgroup on a OS 10.3 machine. I also have a MS windows 2003 machine running SQL server and Retro single server version 7, with the SQL Agent add-on. That setup seems to works fine but the problem is, I can't figure out how to get the backed up SQL data off the PC HD and onto my tapes as only the OS X machine can access my VXA FW autoloader. Question is, can I have my Mac backup the folder on the SQL server that SQL files are being backed up to and still have a viable SQL backup?

 

I guess my other option would be to install a FireWire PCI card on my PC so that it can write to my tapes but I would prefer not to do that

 

Thanks,

 

Ben
