Bonthron Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 We have a small SQL server running on Server 2003 and I need to back it up using Retrospect Backup v 6.0.204 running on a G4 Xserve. Can this be done with the Retrospect Windows Client and the SQL Agent? One of the few things I do know about SQL servers (and I don't know much) is that that you can't back up a running server. Can the server be paused, backed up remotely and then restarted, resulting in a data set that could be recovered from? If yes is there some *easy* scripting function built into Server 2003 that would allow me to pause and restart the server? Thanks for any provided assistance.

natew Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hi This cannot be done with Retrospect for Macintosh. Your only option is to Schedule a windows task that exports the database to a flat file every day. They use Retrospect to backup the exported file.
