sql server misc : Copy time is too big...

Hi, I have a production database in MSSQL 2000 Standard Edition with about
2Gb of data.

My problem is the weekly backup of the entire database: every sunday night i
copy all the data to another db (24 minutes) and after i made a normal
complete backup (11 minutes) in a .bak file...

There's any way to improve performance while copying data?

Thanks a lot

Mauro

Hi

It is not clear how you are copying the data! I assume this is a DTS job, in
which case a quicker solution may be to copy that backup file and restore
that onto the other server see:

Hi

You can make the backup at any time. The database will maintain
transactional consistency therefore any incomplete transaction will be
rolled back, but you will not loose these transaction on the "live"
database and they will be available in the next backup assuming the
transaction is committed.

I make a copy of all db object with a VBscript inside a job.

Can i make backup of a running db that archive 10 rows per second in 8
different tables without losing any data?
