Anyone know of a good "free" way to back up web files and SQL Server 2005 Express Database?
I was able to use Windows Server 2003 Backup utility to back up the folder where the Databases were stored, as well as the web files, with no errors.
But I have heard a lot of discussion that you can't just simply backup SQL Server data files?
I'm wondering how sound the backup I've created is...
Any suggestions?
Try the link below to dowload the eval version of the full SQL Server 2005 it is good for 180 days so you have to buy the developer edition which is $60 or less later. Install it as a named instance and register the Express so you can use the backup and restore wizard to backup your databases. You don't need any third party tool to backup SQL Server if your databases are less than 1000. Hope this helps.
