New Post: Project Description is a little misleading

icnocop — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 21:03:01 GMT

Hi.

The Project Description, "This application is designed to help automate the backup of Sql Server Databases to the local file system." is a little misleading because the backup path is actually relative to the sql server.

You can use a unc path, but that is not really a "local file system" because it is actually relative to the sql server.

For example, if I have a sql server running on a remote machine, I cannot back up a database on that server and expect the backup file to be placed on my local C:\ without using a unc path for example.

Thank you.

Thanks for the FYI, I didn't realize that it won't run on x64! I will try to get an 64-bit version out in the next couple of days for you.

It looks like the utility is 32 bit only. I wanted to let folks know that before they download the tool. A 64 bit version would be great!

I didn't get how to configure the App.config to have Connection String. Also when I check code I didn't find any thing defined in ConfigurationManager. Can you please provide an example for same.

New Post: How do I restore the DB

I found the problem.

You have to set the restore to overwrite the database since the log is not backed up.

HOWEVER, be sure you don't need the log fiel. It contains transations that are useful for the recovery of transations. Generally, these backups are used to recover from dire conditions, and the log files are not generally going to help.

I tried to restore a database using the backup, and it fails on SQL Server 2005.

Is this only for the express version?

Thanks.

There is a connection string setting in the app.config file. You can set this string to connect to your remote server and execute the backup that way.
