When ever I try to use DTS to transfer a db to my web host I receive this error.

Backup Log Permission Denied
Backup Log is terminating abnormally

Now I spoke to the host and had my login credentials amended so I was a backup operator.

This resulted in more permission specific errors.

Is there an alternative way to transfer a database with all elements in tact to a remote server with all defaults, triggers, indexing, sps, keys, seeds etc.

The only perms I have on my account are:
db_datareader
db_datawriter
db_ddladmin

I really do not want to have recreate this by hand which is what I have done in the past.

Help as always is greatly appreciated.

You should be granted db_owner role on your database as well.

Where error are you getting now?

They won't provide db_owner to an individual database - they say it comprimises security to all other db's on the server - which it won't if the perms are configured correctly.

I will investigate alternatives.

I'd say switch hosts then. They obviously don't understand SQL Server security.

I am using www.123hostnow.com. They set you up be default as the db_owner. If your webhost looses enough people, they will learn or go out of business.
