We are working on creating an automatic backup tool for our web application. Our goal is to run a script that "zips" the virtual host/application directory. We have the script to zip the application directory, but is there a way to run a SQL Backup and then zip the output easily? This is where we are struggling.
Any Suggestions are appreciated

I have only started using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition recently.I also installed Management Studio Express version to manage the database. While testing the database I had came across some question and they are:
Can I upgrade from SQL Server 2005 Express to Workgroup/Standard/Enterprise without loosing the database and its contents.
While I backed up the database, I was permitted to backup only on to my local drive even though I have administrative rights on the system. It would be easy if I could backup to a network drive directly.My question is:Is it possible to backup directly to a network drive rather than backing the database to a local drive and then "copy and paste" it to a network drive.
Windows Scheduler: I have scheduled a daily backup of the database by midnight. I have also written the script to run the backup. But every time the scheduler starts the backup, it asks for the database password. This halts the backup until I come back in the morning and manually enter the password. My question is: is it possible to run an automatic database backup using Windows Scheduler?
I understand that there are 2 types of backups: full and differential backups. My question is: Is it possible to dynamically allocate different names automatically to consecutive backups so that the previous backups are not over written
Thanks for your patience and time.

Berly Sam

When I try to restore my SQL Server 2000 backup file to a newly installed copy of SQL Server 2005 Express using Studio Express, I get the following error:
The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'UpperBridge' database. (Microsoft.sqlservfer.Express.smo)
The backup is made from an SQL Server 2000 database called 'UpperBridge'
I am trying to restore to a database called 'UpperBridge' which I created under 'New databases' in Studio Express.
Any help very much appreciated.
I note that after installing sql server 2005 express onto a Windows 2003 server from a Windows XP pro computer I lose the ability to backup, specifically, the microsoft sql studio express lost or is missing the function (management -> Management plans) which allows for backups to be run at specified times.
How can I proceed to backup my SQL server 2005 express database ?
Thanks,

I come cross some post about how to backup a database in Sql Server Management Studio Express automatically. The scripts look like as below
USE [master]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_BackupDatabase]
@databaseName sysname
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @sqlCommand NVARCHAR(1000)
DECLARE @dateTime NVARCHAR(20)
SELECT @dateTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),111),'/','') +
REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),108),':','')
SET @sqlCommand = 'BACKUP DATABASE ' + @databaseName +
' TO DISK = ''C:Backup' + @databaseName + '_Full_' + @dateTime + '.BAK'''
EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlCommand
END
It throws that the DDL statement is not allowed. What's wrong with it?

Hello there,
I've some really big problems with SQL Server 2005 Express. I Recently, I had 2 instances on my machine, one was a SQL Server 2000 Developer and the other a 2005 Express Version. The 2000 version was not necessary anymore, so I unstalled it, since then, the Express version keeps having probems.
Under the Server Properties -> Database settings -> Database Locations I've changed the path to D:sqldatamssql, but now, the programm always takes the "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" to store and load the databases, no matter what I do.
And there are more problems see here:
Restoring does not work=======================
I wanted to restore a database called "fw40_admin" from a backup file (.bak), but that didn't work at all, it always says this as an error:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(error not found)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:sqldatamssqlfw40_admin.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)"
But as soon as I type in the installation path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" inside the "Restore As" under "Options", it works.
Why does the backup only work in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData", BUT the database locations under the server properties is indicated with "D:sqldatamssql"????
Attaching does not work=======================
Attaching an existing database does not work either. Most databases (mdf) are located on the path D:sqldatamssql, but as soon as I press
Attach Databases -> Add
The dialog window appears with the "D:sqldatamssql" path, but it is unable to find any *.mdfs altough THERE ARE .mdfs in this directory. But Express can find databases in the selected installation: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData".
Why can't Express see the directory on the D: partition???
What is wrong? Here? Can anybody help me?
I hope that a someone has answer for me.

I'm looking at a setup where they have server1 and server2 in a mirroring relationship with automatic failover.
Server1 is the principalThey are using transactional replication to replicate asingle databse to server3 is AWS.Distribution database is on Server1All Agents (log reader, snapshot, distributor) run on Server1Server2 has not been set up for replication...My understanding is that in this set up you would normallly place the distribution database on a separate server and enable publication on the mirror, Server2.
What happens if they failover? Replication would stop, and presumably records added while the mirror is the active database would not be marked for replication?How would they recover? Failback and reinintialize
Hi all;I need to generate an automatic mail alert based on the SQL server 2005 database to list of user (email) four times year based In this table there are dates according to that date it need to send email automatically four time each email after three month. I would be great full if you can find me solution for this issue. Thanks reem
Will this work with replication too. I see it with a mirror database, but could it work if I was keeping two copies of the database and wanted to transparently reroute the connection to a surviving server?

Hello,
I have a problem with the round of SQL Server 2K on the float data type.
In my application I do a SQL request for find a row in a table of SQL Server 2K.
This is the request :
SELECT DISTINCT N_ROW_ID FROM COMM WHERE N_ARTICLE_ID=79510 AND N_DATASOURCE_ID=1 AND N_SOURCE_ID=-102 AND N_PROVIDER_ID=-100
AND N_LEAD_TIME IS NULL AND N_UNIT_PRICE = 329.78 AND N_UNIT_PRICE_CURRENCY_ID=1
N_UNIT_PRICE is a float data type.
In the line need, the field N_UNIT_PRICE has 329.78 but with the round of SQL Server 2K I have 329.779999999999997.
So I never find the row
Do you have a solution for comparate a float flied with SQL Server round and a float send in a request as my 329.78?
I can't transform the column in decimal or numeric data type.
Is it possible to Disable the function?

I have a working dnn site. I've created several modules and corresponding tables in the database and everything works great. Then, I open SQL Server Management Studio Express, attach to the database, backup the database, detach from the database and I can no longer run my site (error shown below which says I cannot login to db). I can open the database from Visual Studio and see my tables, but I cannot run the application. Rebooting doesn't help. I've even tried copying over the database with a prior copy. It still doesn't work. The only way I have found to reconnect to the database is to copy over the entire dotnetnuke install directory with a copy I made prior to the backup. Then it works again.
Anyone else had this behavior? How do I fix it?
Thanks

Hi - I use the windows scheduler to execute an SP for my SQL Express instance on a server.
The SP loops through the SQL Express databases, and makes a backup - however, it will only backup the attached databases.
Is there anyway I can modify it, to make it backup the databases in my various web sites, within the app_data folder? These aren't attached, but I think get attached when the web application needs them, then detached afterwards - so they are never permanently attached!
Thanks for any help,
Mark
The SP I use us:/**
File Name: BackupExpress.sql
Description: Backs up all databases. This script is mainly meant for SQL Express instances
The script requires a C:ackups directory by default to backup to but can be changed with the @OutputPath variable.
Accompanying file is BackupExpress.cmd, which is used to schedule the script.
