  #1  
Oct 27th, 2006
Hello,

I was looking around for some tutorials about how to backup my database in my hard disk using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager.

Can someone explain me in a friendly and step-by-step method? (screenshots preferred)



Thanx so much in advance

Thanx,

One more question,

After I perform a backup, how do I burn the backup file in a CD? I mean I cannot see a file with the name I provided, its hidden or something?



Thanx

No--the file will be on the drive specified e.g D:/ --with the name that you have specified in the Add dialog box-(Image 3 in the file sent previously)-e.g Backup. Once you have found the file--burn it to the CD.

MS SQL DB Backups by default have the .BAK file extension.
If in doubt, reach into the trash can and remove the user guide.

Do you backup to a "backup device" or to an individual file? A backup device will store several backups into one file and that could be a reason you can't see your recent backup.
If in doubt, reach into the trash can and remove the user guide.
