                                            | Quick question.  Currently I am using MSDE and viewing though SQL Server using an external IP address.  I was just wondering if it is possible to back up the MSDE data to a different server using a SQL Server job? |  |

                                          | If you have enough disk space locally it would be more "robust" to backup to a local disk and then COPY / MOVE the resulting file to the other server.  Its easy enough to create a JOB on SQL Server that will do the "Backup" and then immediately do a Command Line task to "Copy / Move" the file.Kristen |
