How can I backup a MSDE database? SQL 2000 was easy to do all I did was use
the Enterprise Manager. I'm not sure how to do this with MSDE 2000.

I would rather use something native to windows or even the command line like
in a script. I there anything such as this. I'm trying to stay away from
unknow tools no offense. My corporate data is dependent on this backup.

hi Georg,
[quoted text, click to view]

if you like, you can have a look at a free prj of mine, available at the
link following my sign., which provides a user interface similar to
Enteprise Manager...
backup task feature is available, as long as a simple way to schedule for
SQL Server Agent backup jobs as well... but you can define your own jobs as
desired...

hi George,
[quoted text, click to view]

no offense at all.. it was just an idea to solve minor tweaks in easy way...
you can define and schedule a job, if you like, even via oSql.exe, the
command line tool provide by Microsoft along with MSDE... SQL Server Agent
will execute it at each schedule...

if you do prefere an OS solution, just create a file including the desired
backup statement and schedule it via AT/SCHTASKS to be run via oSql.exe as
well..
<bat or cmd file>
oSql.exe -E -S(Local) -Q"BACKUP DATABASE .... TO DISK = 'c:\...\....bak"
[quoted text, click to view]
</bat or cmd file>

see oSql synopsis in BOL for all parameters..
