Hallo,i`m quite new to SQL, so please be gentle (-:I have a SQL 2005 Express DB on a Win2k3 Server. There are several databases and the two icons "database snapshots" "system databases".Now i`m able to backup the databases separately, buch i wonder, if there is a possibility, to backup all the needed data in one file?Thanks for help. |

OK, so i don't need (Or isn't there just a possibility for this?) to backup the "database snapshots" and "system databases" field in SQL Management Studio? |
